Rust

Mouse-rs

Mouse-rs is a rust library for controlling your mouse from a rust program, without having to go into your kernel yourself.

This project was loosely based on the python mouse library. Currently it only supports windows based machines but I plan on adding unix later.

Installation

Add mouse-rs to your cargo.toml

[dependencies]
mouse-rs = "0.4"

Example

This is a simple example that moves your mouse to a position on screen and presses the left button.

use mouse_rs::{types::keys::Keys, Mouse};

fn move_and_press() {
    let mouse = Mouse::new();
    mouse.move_to(500, 500).expect("Unable to move mouse");
    mouse.press(&Keys::RIGHT).expect("Unable to press button");
    mouse.release(&Keys::RIGHT).expect("Unable to release button");
}

Linux disclaimer

If you’re running into problems building on linux you need to install libxdo-dev.

Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libxdo-dev
