DescriptionRequested as a codingsnack, on
this thread, where mouser eventually suggested a central download to avoid people getting an older version by accident.
FeaturesSend KeyStrokes and MouseStrokes to another application, starting that application if needed.
Since 3.2.0, the -f strokesfile mode has some minor scripting features to:
- wait for a window to open or close, with timeout
- display a message
- goto a specific labeled scriptline
- gosub a subroutine and return from there
Planned FeaturesBased on (applicable) user requests.
UsageInstallationUnzip all files to a subdirectory of your liking. Check out the readme to get acquainted with the command syntax.
Using the ApplicationDetermine what keystrokes and/or mousestrokes to send to an application, and configure that either in a batchfile, 'run-link' or 'external command' from another software tool that supports running a command-line tool. Hint: one of my other tools:
WinButtons, has support for sending keystrokes using -send command
Use as applicable...
UninstallationRemove all files from your computer. Nothing is written to the registry.
