Predestinate

Author

This is a Python wrapper around xautomation. You can use this to script mouse and keyboard actions in GNU/Linux.

⚠️ This project is no longer maintained. As of 2020, it hasn't been updated in six or seven years. Use at your own risk.

Requirements

This requires xautomation to be installed.

Installation

You can install Predestinate from PyPI via pip like so:

pip install predestinate

Usage

Predestinate has been used in my own tests to great effect, and was implemented on 2013-07-25 to provide mouse movement with finger motions via the LEAP Motion controller by a hacker who goes by "dgonyeo".

You can implement Predestinate by taking a quick look at the code and comments to see what methods you can call. Looking at man xte can also be of great use, especially to get the names of keys. Remember, you do need to have xautomation installed for Predestinate to work.

You can start using Predestinate quite easily like so:

from predestinate import MouseGod
mg = MouseGod()
mg.move(100, 200)
mg.move(10, 30, relative=True)
# And much more!

from predestinate import KeyGod
kg = KeyGod()
kg.key_down('Escape')
# And much more!
