Crate enigo_copy

Expand description

Enigo lets you simulate mouse and keyboard input-events as if they were made by the actual hardware. It is available on Linux (X11), macOS and Windows.

It can be used for testing user interfaces on different platforms, building remote control applications or just automating tasks for user interfaces unaccessible by a public API or scripting language.

This library is in an early alpha status, the API will change in in the future.

In order to use the library, you only have to know about three things:

KeyboardControllable (trait): used to simulate a key click, enter text or something similar
MouseControllable (trait): do something with the mouse or you find out the display size
Enigo (struct): implements the two traits KeyboardControllable and MouseControllable

A simple DSL is available. It is documented in the dsl module.

§Examples

use enigo::*;
let mut enigo = Enigo::new();
//paste
enigo.key_down(Key::Control);
enigo.key_click(Key::Layout('v'));
enigo.key_up(Key::Control);

use enigo::*;
let mut enigo = Enigo::new();
enigo.mouse_move_to(500, 200);
enigo.mouse_down(MouseButton::Left);
enigo.mouse_move_relative(100, 100);
enigo.mouse_up(MouseButton::Left);
enigo.key_sequence("hello world");

Modules§

dsl: DSL parser module

Structs§

Enigo: The main struct for handling the event emitting

Enums§

Key: A key on the keyboard. For alphabetical keys, use Key::Layout for a system independent key. If a key is missing, you can use the raw keycode with Key::Raw.
MouseButton: MouseButton represents a mouse button and is used in e.g MouseControllable::mouse_click.
