I like the replay a bit as it gives me an idea of how, over time, I'm pressing keys. There is one issue I've noticed that that the keys logged could be indirectly used by a threat actor to get usernames and passwords. Data is stored unencrypted.

What would be a good idea is to make a side-version of the same program, but strip out the code and database structure that records each individual keystroke, so it counts key presses and key-combinations.

At the moment on VirusTotal only one scanning engine identifies your program as a threat which is Baidu.

I've been using InputScope on my work pc to track my activity across the day but eventually had to stop using it cause i couldn't access the data anymore.
Full process:

• my mouse dataset has 14 million entries
• trying to access it the program seems to try to load the whole database into the RAM while using 25% of the CPU (utilizing only a single core?)
• it manages to allocate about 2.5GB of RAM and then the page stops loading with the following error:
  A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.

Before that it already slowed down, taking up to 2 minutes to load the page. Current Database size is 916MB.
A part of the problem can be attributed to the machine since it uses an older 4 core cpu and a HDD but i'm fairly certain that this still happens on current hardware.

It woould be cool if the color grading could be set up differently because for now my scheme makes no sense with overused Spacebar and almost white "Q" with 4000+ presses

#15 issue has not been fixed yet.
Hold down a key still generates a lot of duplicated logs.

Hi,

can the keyboard layout changed? It's QWERTY, I do have a QWERTZ Keyboard.

Running Linux.

Regards

I would like an option to ignore mouse input events when the cursor is in the middle of the screen. When I play a game, the cursor locks to the center of the screen and it messes with the heatmaps. Could you please add an option to ignore those inputs?

Hey, i'm getting the error:

I've remapped my function keys to some strange unicode characters, and get these error when I press them:

...
Unable to determine character.
Keycode: 69 KeySym 16846434
Unable to determine character.
Keycode: 69 KeySym 16846434
Unable to determine character.
Keycode: 70 KeySym 16846435
Unable to determine character.
Keycode: 70 KeySym 16846435
...

If that's the problem I'd just assume ignore those keys.

I'm running it in a virtual environment.

Also, killing with ctrl+c leaves a python2 process running in the background.

This looks like a great program, really excited to use it.

It only happens when using a free scrolling mouse wheel (MX Master 2S).
Some googling showed that it is most likely caused by overloading the mouse driver with too many inputs.
This also happened on version 1.1 but there it was triggered by a much slower scroll speed.
It disappears when turning off InputScope or disabling mouse logging but it still happens when i enable mouse event categories separately, so it doesn't seem to be tied to one of those.

Great package! I've just tested v1.4.1 on Windows 10 and noticed that paths and clicks drawn across the horizontal and vertical center lines of my screen appeared off-center in the heatmap visualisation. The lines were shifted toward the bottom and right of the heatmap window.

I checked the SQLite database and confirmed that the logged coordinates are correct. For reference my test resolution was 1920 x 1200. It looks like the heatmap visualisation is set to a fixed resolution or screen ratio.

It's a really useful utility. It would be great if the heatmap visualisation mapped to the target resolution or screen ratio.

This happened when using my old 900+ MB database. Restarting InputScope or repacking the DB did not solve it.
When using a new database it seems to work correctly.
Is there some sort of logging i can enable to see what could cause that?

According to https://pypi.org/project/InputScope/, v1.4 seems to be the latest release available in pip. Unfortunately, that version isn't python3 enabled, so installation with pip isn't as trivial as doing pip install inputscope.

I could probably work around this, but I suspect that v1.5 not being available is likely a mistake?

There's no way I pressed Ctrl+Backspace or AltGr+Enter or any like those

I am using two monitors and the main monitor is vertical and side monitor is horizontal. I have tried to move the mouse around the corners to obtain the boundaries of the monitors. However it does not seem correct. See the image.

Do you handle the multiple monitor case?

Hello, Developer~!
On my keyboard, InputScope does not recognize the .Del key on the numberpad.
What settings do I need to modify?
Thank you.

Can you do it only effect to specific program I want? It will very be helpful.

i'm using linux and i noticed that this file InputScope____home__luqtas____local__lib__python3__11__site__packages__inputscope__var__inputscope__db sometimes needs to be deleted after boot, so the app can work... it's located at my /home directory & it's created again every-time i use the app

I have been using Inputscope for 3 days.
I checked Inputscope.db and often found logs of many duplicate keys.
I thought about the cause. But I've never pressed keys in such a pattern.
Below is part of the log file.

I would like to find a solution of this issue.

When downloading, Chrome flagged it as not trusted (which happens to me all the time) but today Windows flagged it after a reboot.

VirusTotal:

Windows Security:

I guess something the program does trips the malware detection.

Similar to this: #11
I would like to be able to support the Swedish keyboard layout.

What changes would need to be made?

Inputscope already works for this layout for the most part, its just that keypresses dont seem
to be reported for swedish characters.

As can be seen here:

For swedish chars normally placed here

there is no data.

i literally just ran it and my mouse started moving around the screen

windows 10 2004

I saw that how many times I had used hotkeys in Inputscope's DB.
By the way, I also wanted to know how many kinds of hotkeys I had used.
However, there was no such feature, so I calculated them manually.
It would be nice if InputScope shows how many kinds of hotkeys I have used.

As the title asks, I tried to go about doing this myself (not just tracking left right middle)

With a lot of headache because of missing dependencies and very outdated python versions, I got this to install on my Ubuntu Box.

Now the question is how do I run it? There is no command inputscope*
