Example Usage

If you would like to know more details, please refer to the DocC Style Document.

Keyboard

By calling a method of the SwiftAutoGUI class as shown below, you can send key input commands to macOS. Supported keys are written in Keycode.swift.

As shown in the sample below, you can also input shortcuts, such as moving the virtual desktop by sending the command ctrl + ←.

Currently only US keyboards are supported. Otherwise, it may not work properly.

import SwiftAutoGUI

// Send ctrl + ←
SwiftAutoGUI.sendKeyShortcut([.control, .leftArrow])

// Send sound up
SwiftAutoGUI.keyDown(.soundUp)
SwiftAutoGUI.keyUp(.soundUp)

Mouse

Similarly, mouse operations can generate basic commands such as mouse movement, clicking, and scrolling by invoking methods of the SwiftAutoGUI class.

import SwiftAutoGUI

// Move mouse by dx, dy from the current location
SwiftAutoGUI.moveMouse(dx: 10, dy: 10)

// Move the mouse to a specific position
// This parameter is the `CGWindow` coordinate.
SwiftAutoGUI.move(to: CGPointMake(0, 0))

// Click where the mouse is located
SwiftAutoGUI.leftClick() // left
SwiftAutoGUI.rightClick() // right

// Scroll
SwiftAutoGUI.vscroll(clicks: 10) // up
SwiftAutoGUI.vscroll(clicks: -10) // down
SwiftAutoGUI.hscroll(clicks: 10) // left
SwiftAutoGUI.hscroll(clicks: -10) // right
