Wrong input on Mac 13.3 about enigo HOT 11 CLOSED

Return to version 0.0.14 to resume normal

from enigo.

I don't know how to get the enigo logs to help you debug, if there is anything I can do please let me know

Hi, thank you for bringing this to my attention. There is no need for you to do anything else. I can reproduce this myself and am now checking which commit broke it. I'll try to fix it today and publish a new version. Sorry about the inconvenience

from enigo.

I had to revert 95e331b. A new version was released. Feel free to try it out

Another question, I found that the speed of the keyboard emulation interface provided by MacSDK is low, it takes 45ms to emulate a keyboard input on M1 Mac Air, while the win32 interface only takes ns level to emulate a keyboard input, I have no experience, so please ask if there is any other way to achieve a lower latency to emulate a keyboard input.

We intentionally sleep for a couple of ms as you can see here. Those sleeps are required on macOS for the key press to be registered. If they are pressed for too short, they are ignored. We do the same on Windows though (see here), so I am a bit confused as to why it only takes ns on Windows for you. I'd like to get rid of these sleeps, but I am not aware of any way these sleeps can be avoided :(

i've try core-foundation-rs on Mac and windows-rs on Windows
not enigo

unsafe {
            // \x08: backspace
            keybd_event(*key, 0, KEYBD_EVENT_FLAGS::default(), 0);
            keybd_event(*key, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
        }

from enigo.

Does that work reliably without a sleep between the press and the release of the key or are keys ignored?
If it does, I'll use that instead and get rid of the delay.

I simply tested it on the Windows platform, but not on buttons like Control, and the results seem to be fine, you can find the code herekey_test

The test results are as follows:

PS C:\Users\Administrator\code\key_speed_test> cargo run
   Compiling key_speed_test v0.1.0 (C:\Users\Administrator\code\key_speed_test)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.68s
     Running `target\debug\key_speed_test.exe`
Press 36 keys in 4.7608ms
PS C:\Users\Administrator\code\key_speed_test> abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789

Sorry, I made a mistake, it should be μs instead of ns, but it is fast enough and no characters are missing

from enigo.

Enigo no longer needs any sleeps on Windows anymore. They are still there on macOS though
