Auto Cursor Movement on File Script

This Python script automates keyboard right arrow key and pressing right arrow key to move through a document or file using the pyautogui library. It provides functionality to pause and resume moving based on user input, specifically using the Esc key.

Features

  • Movement Automation: Moves the cursor to the start of the file and move to the end by simulating right arrow key presses.
  • Pause Functionality:
    • Press Esc once to pause the script for 10 seconds.
    • Press Esc and hold it for more than 0.5 seconds, then press Esc twice to pause the script.
    • Press Esc twice to resume scrolling when the script is paused.

Prerequisites

  • Python: Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.
  • Required Libraries: Install the required Python libraries using pip.

Installation

  1. Clone the Repository (if applicable):

    git clone https://github.com/imparth7/keyboard-automation.git
cd keyboard-automation

  2. Install Required Libraries:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

  1. Prepare Your Document:

    • Make sure the document or file you want to move through is in focus.

  2. Run the Script:

    python main.py

  3. Controlling the Script:

    • Press Esc once: Pauses the script for 10 seconds.
    • Hold Esc for more than 0.5 seconds: Switches to waiting for a double Esc press.
    • Press Esc twice: Toggles the pause state. The script will resume if it was paused.

Notes

  • Ensure that the document or window you want to move through is active and focused when running the script.
  • Adjust the sleep durations in the script if necessary to match your system’s performance and responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

  • Script Not Scrolling: Verify that the document is focused and the right arrow key moves the cursor as expected. Adjust the sleep times if needed.
  • Key Presses Not Detected: Ensure the keyboard library has the necessary permissions and that no other program is intercepting key presses.
