Simple solution....but can't afford to just keep trying one until I find one that works. I was hoping more for a referral for a known working solution.
Thanks

Don't know about barcodes but couldn't the same thing be done with a qr code and a webcam?

Read the setup guide and make sure it's configured with correct language etc. If you open an editor or terminal and scan a barcode the input from the barcode should appear as normal keyboard text in the editor. If not, it's not configured to be a wedge (a scanner can act as a wedge scanner even though it's connected to its own USB port) or you might have a weird config OR your scanner need a driver to be able to act as a wedge scanner. It must act as a wedge otherwise the whole idea will not work.
You can also try to find anything useful here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BarcodeReaders

i did see your question at Linuxforums, but I'll continue in this thread.

@CaptainVee, that's not possible to do without having an app that interacts as a keyboard interlayer.

I believe that I have figured it out. I was able to set up the Honeywell scanner with a "Intercharacter Delay" which places a short (ms) delay between the transmission of each character of scanned data.

I am now able to use "o+filename" (ex: otest) to create my barcode and only scan once to open, populate and load the program. This will save a lot of time.

Thanks for the help!

This is a known working solution.
