Examples:

Mouse

package main

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

func main() {
  robotgo.ScrollMouse(10, "up")
  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.TypeString("Hello World")
  robotgo.KeyTap("enter")
  robotgo.TypeString("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 (
	"fmt"

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

func main() {
  x, y := robotgo.GetMousePos()
  fmt.Println("pos:", x, y)
  color := robotgo.GetPixelColor(100, 200)
  fmt.Println("color----", color)
}

Bitmap

package main

import (
	"fmt"

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

func main() {
  bitmap := robotgo.CaptureScreen(10, 20, 30, 40)
  fmt.Println("...", bitmap)

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

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

Event

package main

import (
	"fmt"

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

func main() {
  keve := robotgo.AddEvent("k")
  if keve == 0 {
    fmt.Println("you press...", "k")
  }

  mleft := robotgo.AddEvent("mleft")
  if mleft == 0 {
    fmt.Println("you press...", "mouse left button")
  }
}

Window

package main

import (
	"fmt"

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

func main() {
  fpid, err := robotgo.FindIds("Google")
  if err == nil {
    fmt.Println("pids...", fpid)
  }

  isExist, err := robotgo.PidExists(100)
  if err == nil {
    fmt.Println("pid exists is", isExist)
  }

  abool := robotgo.ShowAlert("test", "robotgo")
  if abool == 0 {
 	  fmt.Println("ok@@@", "ok")
  }

  title := robotgo.GetTitle()
  fmt.Println("title@@@", title)
}

Plans

Update Window Handle
Support UTF-8, transitional plan: TypeStr
Try support Android, maybe support IOS
Remove zlib/libpng dependencies
