A windows program which adds autorunning (or automatic key holding of any kind) universally to all games. To use it, just hold down the keys you would like to stay pressed and then press the PAUSE key. You can now take your hand off the keyboard, and the keys will remain pressed until you press a key on the keyboard again.
AutoRun monitors the status of the keyboard using a low level keyboard hook. When the hotkey PAUSE/BREAK is pressed, it takes all currently held keys (listed in src/vkarray.cpp) and holds them down. Keys are then released when any key is pressed on the keyboard.
- Visual Studios C/C++ (recommended 2015 or above)
- CMake 3.1 or newer
- Git
- Clone the source
git clone https://github.com/divisionind/AutoRun.git cd AutoRun - Generate the build files with CMake
- Release:
cmake . -DRELEASE_BUILD=1 - Debug:
cmake . -DRELEASE_BUILD=0orcmake . - NOTE: You can specify the
-Goption to cmake to choose a specific compiler. Seecmake -hfor a list of compilers installed on your system.
- Release:
- Open the build files
- For visual studios this will be the
AutoRun.slnfile. - Ensure you have Debug or Release selected in the editor as appropriate then go to the menu
bar and select
Build->Rebuild Solution
- For visual studios this will be the
- The executable will be located in
[Release or Debug]/AutoRun.exe - If you would like AutoRun to start automatically when you start Windows, create a shortcut to
the program and place it in
%appdata%/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup
My main reason for writing this was to explore low level inputs on Windows so how I do stuff here is not the best or easiest in all cases but instead its in service of that original idea.
