Key and mouse recorder

is it possible to build a java app that allow you to record and replay key-strokes and mouse actions?

Do a search on jfcUnit. It does exactly what you are talking about. It actually adds a listener to the AWT event system, and can listen for all events. It then plucks out key/mouse events as needed. You can record these, then probably play them back with the Robot class, although a translation may be needed to take an event and use the Robot class to play it back.

Key and mouse event

Hi all,
anybody please tel me how can i access key and mouse events.here i don't have any GUI application.
thanks in advance

If you don't have a GUI application then no events will be generated.
Or do you mean "GUI experience?" A quick google would have found you these:

Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem. Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings. After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

Bluetooth keyboard K810 and mouse T630 at the same time, repeating keys and mouse starts to stutter

I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2, Windows 8.1(core edition), x86 (32bit).
If I pair a Bluetooth keyboard K810 and mouse T630 at the same time, with Wifi On, the keyboard starts repeating the keys and the mouse starts to stutter. Especially if WiFi is under load (when downloading something).
This doesn’t happens if I pair only the keyboard, or if I pair mouse and keyboard with Wifi OFF.
If I pair a Bluetooth keyboard and use a USB mouse with Wifi ON, everything works fine.
If I pair a Bluetooth mouse and use a USB keyboard with Wifi ON, everything works fine.
I think it is an issue with two Bluetooth devices paired at the same time with Wifi ON.
So here is a summary:
BT mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> repeating chars and the mouse starts to stutter (bug)
BT mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi OFF ----> works fine
Only BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> works fine
Only BT mouse / Wifi ON ----> works fine
USB mouse and BT keyboard / Wifi ON ----> works fine
USB keyboard and BT mouse / Wifi ON ----> works fine
Where is the problem? Is there any solution?
Solved!

I have solved the problem. In the Wlan-Drives-Settings there is the "Bluetooth Collaboration" option. I put the value to "Disable" and now works everything like charm.

Bluetooth Collaboration
Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.

What am I doing to make my screen zoom in while I am using my mouse? It zooms to about double size, and using the control key and mouse will not return it to its former size.

When I am searching the internet and using my mouse, my screen will suddenly zoom in to about double size. Clicking control and mousing will not return it back to where it was. I have no idea what I am doing to cause this to happen or how to reverse it.

Hi.
If you're using a Magic Mouse, a double tap on the mouse with one finger will zoom.
Double tap again to unzoom.

Consistant Scrolling position between cursor keys and mouse - how to do it??

When I read with Adobe Reader, I often use the mouse on my laptop and scroll the pages down with the scrollbar and then become engrossed in reading the article.
Being engrossed, however, I also sometimes press the cursor down key, with the expectation that it will scroll the page down from the current position I am reading from.
Unfortunately it jumps to whereever it was 50 or so pages before, or to the start and I have to mess around trying to find my place.
It's deeply, deeply irritating and slows down my reading significantly.
I have read all the Adobe reader help and settings, but cannot find anywhere I can change this behavour. I
Anyone else affected by this and if so how did you overcome it?

I shoud be clearer and say that it jumps to wherever the cursor was last placed by the cursor keys.
Can't believe its just me who has this problem....

Keyboard directions keys and mouse pads are not very supportive in Pavillion G6 series

Hi All,
I have been using my Pavillion G6 series since 6 months now. The mouse pad and the direction keys have already started behaving as if they have become they are ages old. What should be done in this condition?

Hi. can you please explain further? Do you mean the sensitivity? You can easily change the settings on this.

Stick Keys and Mouse Keys usage?

Hi. I'm getting ready to replace my current Dell Laptop with a new laptop. I've been using PC based computer since 1989 but this time I'm seriously considering getting a Macbook shortly after WWDC. I'm just fed up with Windows. I'm paralyzed from the neck down and type with a stick I hold by mouth (mouthstick/typing wand). Currently in WinXP I use StickyKeys and a trackstick (trackpoint) in the middle of the keys to move the pointer and do the clicking (w/clicklock enabled) for clicking and dragging with a usb mouse. Since macbooks don't have a trackstick my current trackstick/mouse combination won't do on the macbook. And I can not move a mouse around.
I assume sticky keys works the same on OS X as on WinXP (one press of a modifier key holds until the combo key/s are press) but will pressing a modifier key twice lock it until the modifier key is pressed again?
One thing I've never been able to do is use the Fn key combinations because stickykeys on WinXP doesn't hold the Fn key for combinations. Does sticky keys on OS X hold or lock the Fn key like the modifier keys?
As for mousekeys on OS X, pressing the "Option" five times everytime I need to move/click the pointer then five more times is a bit much (thats why I use the trackstick/mouse combo rather than mousekeys on WinXP). Is there a quicker way? If sticky keys treats the FN key like a modifier key on OS X to press twice to lock it and once to unlock it that would be a great alternative. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hello!
I'm paralyzed from the neck

A solution that works well is a HeadMouse from AssistiveWare, seen used by a tetraplegic artist.

key twice lock it until the modifier key is pressed

Yes, it does.

That's one solution. Another is to use VoiceOver to navigate; you can lock the option and ctrl keys so that all VO commands are performed with single key presses, since Sticky Keys will hold the shift or cmd keys.
Yet another is a cheek switch as used by Marie-France Bru. No doubt there are plenty of other adaptations you could try, but those are the ones I know about.

SUN ULTRA 5 type 5 keyboard and mouse

Hi.
I have some questions about old SUN TYPE 5 keyboard and mouse.
I have got an very old ULTRA 5 machine just for little "playing" with just such type of keyboard and mouse ( SUN type 5).
I am wondering , if this input devices will fail, is it possible to get some other compatible type of keyboard and mouse for it ???
I am not SUN specialist , so I dont know - is it also possible to use also SUN type 6 keyboard / mouse with my ULTRA 5 workstation??? The connector type seems similar like a PS/2 , but I think there is no way to use standard PC PS/2 keyboard/mouse with it , or is it ??? Whats the best solution , where to get ULTRA 5 compatible keyboard/mouse ? Thank you veyr much for your answer.

Hello,
a Type 5 keyboard (lacks the power-on key) and mouse might work. The preferred types are Type 5c or Type 6.
Most OHCI compatible USB cards work (http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/products/hardware.html), but the USB keyboard and mouse aren't usable until the operating system (and USB driver) have been loaded (you have to configure keyboard and mouse manually).
I would recommend that you get a Sun Type 5c or Type 6 keyboard/mouse from second hand e.g. eBay. They are not that expensive anymore.
Another choice is to use the Ultra 5 via the serial console (text mode) and then use a X-Server to access the system (after installation of Solaris) via the network.

Error Prompted after add and remove record immediately

Dear ALL
I caught the problem as follows:
1. Add a new Records at a popup.
2. Save and Commit and Refresh the page
3. Remove that newly added record
4. Error prompted about null primary key and that record cannot be removed
Alternatively, I move out to another page after save and then back to the same page, then the delete process is OK. I wonder why the error comes. Need your kind advise.
Regards
Trewina

One possibility is that in step 3 now row is marked as current row.
How do you delete the row? Select it in a table?

Recording keystrokes and mouse clicks?

Greetings,
I need to be able to make scripts/macros by recording keystrokes and mouse clicks with location.
Is this possible with Automator?
Does anyone know of a way program to do this?
It seems so simple.
Thanks

Keyboard shortcuts were often missed. For example, I tried this sequence many times.
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to first line and cursor is at the beginning of the first line)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-DownArrow to move cursor down one line and select the first line
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
Automator never would capture those key strokes.
But today I has a break through. This sequence does work:
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to bottom of the file and the cursor is placed below the last line.)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-UpArror to move cursor up one line and select the last line.
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
about 70% of the time this did get recorded correctly (I did maybe 3 recordings and one failed to select). Once it got recorded correctly it worked reliably.
So it seems to be able to capture some sequences but not others. Both sequences work very reliably when I type them but automator can only capture the last sequence.
Thanks for the suggestions. This tool is better than nothing but not anything I would recommend.

How to use the validation work in Both TAB and Mouse keys in Forms6i

Hi,
I have a validation script once it's validated it should execute the query.But using When-Validate-Item i can't use execute_query.I am able to use the validation in Key-Next-Item trigger but if the user moves the cursor using mouse then it's not working.
How to use the validation script working in Both Scenarios(Tab and Mouse keys).
Can anyone please give inputs to rectify the above issue?.

So you have multiple fields, but on at least one of them if it's valid you immediately want to execute the query?
You could create a hidden field in a control block Query_Now default 'N'. In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on your item, if it's determined to be valid, then set Query_Now to 'Y'.
In a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE at block level, check if Query_Now is 'Y'. If it is then execute the query (and set it back to 'N').

When I disable my left windows key for gameing using Microsoft keyboard and mouse software, I can no longer type in firefox. How can i fix this?

Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Software that you install with Microsoft keyboard and mice, (latest version) allows you to disable your windows key so that you don't accidentally hit it when gaming. When I take advantage of this feature, I can no longer type in Firefox. Typing in Firefox is completely disabled. Other browsers, windows, applications work, but not Firefox. What is it about the windows key that firefox needs for typing. Strange problem, but annoying because I have to use a different browser while game. Certainly not a deal breaker, but kinda strange.

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar

HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)

Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!
