Hollywood forums

Hi Andreas,

What would you think about adding some functions to Hollywood that could send key and mouse button events (presses) to the system's input queue---simulating actual keyboard and mouse button?

This kind of thing can already be done on Amigas using additional utilities such as:

http://aminet.net/util/cli/recorder.lha

It would be nice, though, to have such functions available in Hollywood to use across all platforms.

I realize that such features may not have very wide appeal and may be somewhat tricky to implement on all systems; so if it's more trouble than it's worth, just discard this request.

Rather unlikely. On Amiga it would be easy to implement through input.device but on other systems it's much more difficult and it also might trigger certain security programs and I don't want Hollywood to end up on blacklists because it simulates mouse clicks etc. Malware often makes use of such functionalities..
