Requirements:

Now, Please make sure Golang, GCC is installed correctly before installing RobotGo.

ALL:

Golang

GCC

For Mac OS X:

Xcode Command Line Tools

For Windows:

MinGW-w64 (Use recommended) or other GCC

For everything else:

GCC, libpng

X11 with the XTest extension (also known as the Xtst library)

Event:

xcb, xkb, libxkbcommon

Ubuntu:

sudo apt install gcc libc6-dev

sudo apt install libx11-dev xorg-dev libxtst-dev libpng++-dev

sudo apt install xcb libxcb-xkb-dev x11-xkb-utils libx11-xcb-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev
sudo apt install libxkbcommon-dev

sudo apt install xsel xclip

Fedora:

sudo dnf install libxkbcommon-devel libXtst-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel xorg-x11-xkb-utils-devel

sudo dnf install libpng-devel

sudo dnf install xsel xclip

Installation:

go get github.com/go-vgo/robotgo

It's that easy!

png.h: No such file or directory? Please see issues/47.

Update:

go get -u github.com/go-vgo/robotgo

Note go1.10.x C file compilation cache problem, golang #24355. go mod vendor problem, golang #26366.

Examples:

Mouse

package main

import (
  "github.com/go-vgo/robotgo"
)

func main() {
  robotgo.ScrollMouse(10, "up")
  robotgo.Scroll(100, 200)

  robotgo.MoveMouse(10, 10)
  robotgo.Drag(10, 10)

  robotgo.MouseClick("left", true)
  robotgo.MoveMouseSmooth(100, 200, 1.0, 100.0)
}

Keyboard

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/go-vgo/robotgo"
)

func main() {
  robotgo.TypeStr("Hello World")
  robotgo.TypeStr("だんしゃり", 1.0)
  // robotgo.TypeStr("テストする")

  robotgo.TypeStr("Hi galaxy. こんにちは世界.")
  robotgo.Sleep(1)

  // ustr := uint32(robotgo.CharCodeAt("Test", 0))
  // robotgo.UnicodeType(ustr)

  robotgo.KeyTap("enter")
  // robotgo.TypeStr("en")
  robotgo.KeyTap("i", "alt", "command")

  arr := []string{"alt", "command"}
  robotgo.KeyTap("i", arr)

  robotgo.WriteAll("Test")
  text, err := robotgo.ReadAll()
  if err == nil {
    fmt.Println(text)
  }
}

Screen

package main

import (

)

func main() {
  x, y := robotgo.GetMousePos()
  fmt.Println("pos: ", x, y)

  color := robotgo.GetPixelColor(100, 200)
  fmt.Println("color---- ", color)

  sx, sy := robotgo.GetScreenSize()
  fmt.Println("get screen size: ", sx, sy)
}

Bitmap

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/go-vgo/robotgo"
)

func main() {
  bitmap := robotgo.CaptureScreen(10, 20, 30, 40)
  // use `defer robotgo.FreeBitmap(bit)` to free the bitmap
  defer robotgo.FreeBitmap(bitmap)

  fmt.Println("bitmap...", bitmap)
  img := robotgo.ToImage(bitmap)
  robotgo.SavePng(img, "test_1.png")

  bit2 := robotgo.ToCBitmap(robotgo.ImgToBitmap(img))
  fx, fy := robotgo.FindBitmap(bit2)
  fmt.Println("FindBitmap------ ", fx, fy)

  arr := robotgo.FindEveryBitmap(bit2)
  fmt.Println("Find every bitmap: ", arr)
  robotgo.SaveBitmap(bitmap, "test.png")

  fx, fy = robotgo.FindBitmap(bitmap)
  fmt.Println("FindBitmap------ ", fx, fy)

  robotgo.SaveBitmap(bitmap, "test.png")
}

CrossCompiling

Windows64 to windows32

SET CGO_ENABLED=1
SET GOARCH=386
go build main.go

Other to windows

Install Requirements (Ubuntu):

sudo apt install gcc-multilib
