Mouse macro

#1 Post by Artie »

I was wondering if there is a pet that can record several mouse entries in one go? When I start puppy there are some other programs I always start too such as a portable edition of dropbox. To start dropbox I first click on sda1 and then the dropbox icon in the folder and then close the window. I do this with some other programs too. Are there any pets who can simply record the mouse movements and clicks so I can click play or something just once and have the rest done automatically? I seem to remember once I used something like that on Windows.

hi artie

i don't know the answer to your original question, but why not just drag and drop the dropbox portable to /root/startup and choose 'link relative' .... this will auto start dropbox at startup

Yeah, this little binary can do mouse movements, mouse clicks, key presses. Source
./xevent
Usage: xevent keycode [102]
or: xevent -a x y
or: xevent -r dx dy
or: xevent -b <but> [102]
Put it in your path and have a play.

However, what 666philb suggests is probably a better solution to your problem.

I have tried the startup folder with different programs sometimes it works sometimes not and recording mouse movements is much more flexible. I'll try your little binary exactly what do I do with it and how does it work? :)
