WinKeys
WinKeys is designed to do one thing: send native keyboard inputs to Windows.
I was developing a very niche Electron application and robotjs was not yet updated to support Node 12 / Electron 5. It will not work on anything except Windows, and I have no plans to add support for other platforms in the future.
Usage
const winkeys = require("winkeys");
winkeys.pressKeys(string);
You may send one character at a time, or a whole string (can include spaces). There are special keys which require the use of specific codes:
| Physical Key | Special Code |
|---|---|
| Enter/Return | @@return |
| Backspace | @@backspace |
| Control | @@control |
| Space Bar | @@space |
| Delete | @@delete |
| Tab | @@tab |
These codes must be sent by themselves, and not in the middle of another string.
winkeys.pressKeys("@@backspace");
Other special keys may be added in the future as they are fairly trivial to implement. If you need one added, feel free to submit a Pull Request or create a Feature Request under Issues.
