Move Mouse For Mac

How about a Mouse Mover application which can run on Mac or any other operating system which supports running a java application? The Software presented here can keep the mouse cursor moving on any operating system on which you can run a java based application (.jar file).

Download the Mouse Mover application and run it on Mac or any other OS which supports running of java application. This download requires atleast Java Version 1.6 installed on your computre. In case of Mac, you would need atleast Mac Leopard.

MP3 files are the most widely-used audio file for consumers. Simply clicking on the file will open it in or, depending on your preferred platform. Due to small size and acceptable quality, files are accessible to a wide audience, as well as easy to store and share.How to open an MP3 file?Because MP3 files are so prevalent, most major audio playback programs support them. Flac to mp3 for mac converter. Users can also files.Another program that can open MP3 files is.

The above software download can even be used on any Windows based Operating System as well. The Software download presented here is similar to that described in the post Keep Mouse Moving which presented a windows based software. The download file presented in first paragraph is a .zip file containing a .jar file and other files in a folder. All you need to keep your computer active and let the mouse cusror move automatically is extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your operating system (The OS must have Java Run Time installed already to run this Mouse Mover application) such as Mac, Windows, etc and launch the MouseMover.jar file.

Move Mouse is a simple application that simulates user activity. You can either move the mouse pointer, click the left mouse button, send a keystroke, or any combination of the three. Download Move Mouse - This application offers you the possibility to customize a simulation of mouse movements or keystrokes that will be performed at a specified time interval. Whilst being the best budget mouse out there, the Anker Vertical Ergonomic Optical is also one of the best ergonomic options too. As far as value goes, this is the best option that you're going to find for under £20/$20. Yes, it's rather tall, and if you haven't used a standing mouse before, it might take a few goes to get used to, but that's also a strength. Usage is as noted in the comments in the code: click -x 100 -y 200 would move the mouse horizontally 100 pixels and vertically 200 pixels, and then send a mouse click event. I tested it, and it works as described. I'm trying to PREVENT the computer from receiving mouse events. I'm using an Intel Mac Mini to control a touchscreen in a kiosk.

Sorry to be stupid, but where does this 'click' binary go so Applescript programs can find it?

You can place it in /usr/local/bin (I'm pretty sure that's in your default path). Then you can call it like any other command line program.

Just a note to say that you are using cocoa objc to access carbon code.
There is a carbon example HIDTestTool on apple's site, which can be easily modified and some CGPostMouseEvents added to move the mouse.
Just if you prefer not mixing your carbon's and cocoa's.

I should perhaps say that I was using the HID example to trap apple remote keypresses and map them to the mouse.
It isn't required to use anything from the HID example to set the mouse loc

Messaging software for mac os. Great one, thanks for sharing!
I would add a -h --help flag to be called when no arguments are given.

Not to say your work is useless, but this works well for me:

Do you have 'Enable Access for Assistive Devices' checked in your 'Universal Access' system preferences?

Yup. I'm on 10.5 and using an macbook/external monitor if that makes a difference.

Your script will work with the setting on, but you are more than likely out of luck with it off, the original hint will work regardless.
Also, I haven't tested if telling the finder (or even system events) to click will work across into other applications.

I would think that if you are in another active application that you want to click on, that activating the Finder would deactive the window you need the script to opperate on..

As mentioned in the post, this is for Apps that do not use standard Cocoa UI elements and thus can not be scripted using 'click at.' Finder is a Cocoa app, so this is not necessary, but try using 'click at' on a web page in Safari using a Flash control and you'll be tearing your hair out.

First, I wish to echo sweyhrich's comment about using Click within Applescripts.
I also cannot figure out how to make Click work via a Terminal command. I type command-shift-N to open a command line window, type 'click -x 90 -y 30', click the Run button, and get no detectable mouse click. Instead, a new Terminal bash window appears in the middle of my screen. Could this be due to owning a PowerPC Mac and running robg's binary (that may have been for Intel Macs)?

This won't work unless you check 'run command inside of shell' or actually run it from the command line. I don't know why. But other than that issue it works splendidly for me.

Yes, robg's binary is not Universal, it's intel only.

there's another utility out there you might check out:
http://www.bluem.net/downloads/cliclick-en/
from the website:
'Cliclick' stands for 'Command-Line Interface CLICK', which says it allâ€'it is a a tiny shell / Terminal application that will emulate keyboard clicks at arbitrary screen coordinates.

Here's how to use this with AppleScript:
tell application 'Terminal'
do shell script '/path/to/click click -x 300 -y 2'
end tell

OMG I SO LOVE YOU! THIS CODE IS A LIFE SAVER MAN!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I almost pulled my hair out when applescript did 'half-selects' inside Adobe Flash CS3 - and by the way, that app is a NIGHTMARE to. well, applescript.
This was like 3 days after googling for stuff. So, here, let me put some keywords for the rest of the guys who are stuck with the same problem:

CGPostMouseEvent has been deprecated in SnowLeopard.
You can replace it with something like
CGEventRef mouseDownEv = CGEventCreateMouseEvent (NULL,kCGEventLeftMouseDown,pt,kCGMouseButtonLeft);
CGEventPost (kCGHIDEventTap, mouseDownEv);
CGEventRef mouseUpEv = CGEventCreateMouseEvent (NULL,kCGEventLeftMouseUp,pt,kCGMouseButtonLeft);
CGEventPost (kCGHIDEventTap, mouseUpEv );
With some minor adjustments (see Apple docs) you can also send wheel events, drag the mouse and the like.
Cheers

like it, like it, like it. one thing though.
how do i make the cursor move without clicking? i'd like to do a series of mouse clicks and movements to perform a task. that is, i need to click on my fan menu item, then select the fan speed option, then move it straight across, move it down, pause (long enough for the menu item to be highlighted) then click. reason i want to automate it is so i can control it with speech.
any help is appreciated.
## edit
i just realized.. if i could just incorporate a small wait time between moving the mouse and clicking it, that would solve my problem. is it possible to do that simply in the program? sorry if that's a silly question.. i'm still new to this code, and it all looks mostly chinese to me.

Here are two sleeps routines you could add:
// Possible sleep routines
usleep(100000);
sleep(2);

I have developed a drag routine. I called it clickdrag> Here is the applescript code to test clickdrag.

Hi. I'd like to use a command line tool like this to drag by calling from AppleScript. But I don't know how to compile, and my attempts have been frustrating and have failed. Is there a compiled command line tool that I can use to click and drag? I use cliclick and mousetools, but they don't allow dragging, that I'm aware of. It would be wonderful to find a tool that provides this! Best free photo editor for mac 2019. Better yet, a tool that does the stuff the others do, but also drags, so I wouldn't have to have a multitude of little command line tools stacked up in my system. Whoever manages to accomplish this will be my hero!

Move Mouse For Mac

Yes, I know, very old post, but here's a way to drag and drop with a python script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import * # imports all of the top-level symbols in the module
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclickdn(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
def mouseclickup(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
def mousedrag(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDragged, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent); # Save current mouse position
mouseclickdn(60, 100);
mousedrag(60, 300);
mouseclickup(60, 300);
time.sleep(1);
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y)); # Restore mouse position

Thanks Tony - if anyone else wants anything similar I've expanded on this here (But also keep an eye on PyUserInput which hopes to do more.)

Hey why won't this work on a PowerPC?

If anyone can help me I'd be very very grateful.
I'm trying to PREVENT the computer from receiving mouse events. I'm using an Intel Mac Mini to control a touchscreen in a kiosk. Once a viewer touches the screen to launch a video, I need to prevent the computer from receiving any other user input including screen touches (mouse events) until the video concludes.
I'm sort of desperate here, and this is for my master's capstone project.
Feel free to e-mail me, also stretch AT stretchphotography DOT COM
Thanks very much.
