Is it possible, to control the mouse pointer from the R console?
I have something like this in mind:
move_mouse(x_pos=100,y_pos=200) # move the mouse pointer to position (100,200)
mouse_left_button_down # simulate a press of the left button
move_mouse(x_pos=120,y_pos=250) # move mouse to select something
mose_release_left_button # release the pressed button
In MATLAB, something like this is possible with the following code
import java.awt.Robot;
mouse = Robot;
mouse.mouseMove(0, 0);
mouse.mouseMove(100, 200);
Is something similar possible for the keybord? E.g. simulate keybord events?
