type: Type keys

In rMouse: Automate Mouse Clicks and Send Keyboard Input

Description

Type keyboard input by sending key press events.

Usage

type(string, failSafe = TRUE)

Arguments

string	String to be typed.
failSafe	Logical flag to allow for emergency stops. Default is TRUE.

Note

If failSafe is TRUE, the function checks whether the mouse cursor is at the upper left position of the screen (pixel: x = 0, y = 0) . If so, the function fails and throws an error, allowing for emergency stops during code execution.

Special characters like "?", "!", ";", "<", ">", "+", "*" are not allowed, since the mapping of the virtual keys in Java deviates from the R generated raw bytes.

Examples

## Not run: 
type("This is a sentence. Hello.")  # types to R console
type("Hello World!")                # throws an error due to special character

## End(Not run)
