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.TypeStr("Hello World")
  robotgo.TypeStr("测试")
  robotgo.TypeString("测试")

  robotgo.TypeStr("山达尔星新星军团, galaxy. こんにちは世界.")
  robotgo.Sleep(1)

  // ustr := uint32(robotgo.CharCodeAt("测试", 0))
  // robotgo.UnicodeType(ustr)

  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)
  // use `defer robotgo.FreeBitmap(bit)` to free the bitmap
  defer robotgo.FreeBitmap(bitmap)

  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() {
  ok := robotgo.AddEvents("q", "ctrl", "shift")
  if ok {
    fmt.Println("add events...")
  }

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

  mleft := robotgo.AddEvent("mleft")
  if mleft {
    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)

    if len(fpid) > 0 {
      robotgo.ActivePID(fpid[0])

      robotgo.Kill(fpid[0])
    }
  }

  robotgo.ActiveName("chrome")

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

    robotgo.Kill(100)
  }

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

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