Mouse-rs

Mouse-rs is a rust library for controlling your mouse from a rust program, without having to go into your kernel yourself.

This project was loosely based on the python mouse library. Currently it supports macos, windows and linux (X11)! If you need any other OS added please open an issue

Installation

Add mouse-rs to your cargo.toml

[dependencies]
mouse-rs = "0.4"

Example

This is a simple example that moves your mouse to a position on screen and presses the left button.

use mouse_rs::{types::keys::Keys, Mouse};

fn move_and_press() {
    let mouse = Mouse::new();
    mouse.move_to(500, 500).expect("Unable to move mouse");
    mouse.press(&Keys::RIGHT).expect("Unable to press button");
    mouse.release(&Keys::RIGHT).expect("Unable to release button");
}
