Windows keyboard event emitter/listener Rust module

Winky

Rust module for using the keyboard on Windows:

• Emits keyboard events using scan codes rather than VK codes (required for some games)
• Emits mouse events
• Channel+thread based listener for keyboard events, allowing for hotkeys

Usage

Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
winky = { git = "https://github.com/glenmurphy/winky/" }

main.rs:

use winky::{self, Event, Key};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  winky::press(Key::A);
  winky::release(Key::A);

  let mut rx = winky::listen();
  loop {
    match rx.recv().await.unwrap() {
      Event::Keyboard(Key::F9, true) => { println!("F9 pressed"); },
      _ => {}
    }
  }
}
