InputForge C# provides a powerful and intuitive .NET (C#) interface to simulate keyboard input using the native Win32 SendInput API. It abstracts all interop details, offering a modern and simple API to programmatically control input across Windows environments.

Ideal for WPF, Windows Forms, and Console Applications, InputForge allows full simulation of key presses, combinations, modifiers, and text input.

🔧 Features

• Simulate any keyboard input, including:
  • Control, Shift, Alt, Tab, Enter, Space, Backspace, and Windows key
  • Lock keys: Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock
  • Function keys: F1–F24
  • Media keys: Volume Up/Down, Mute
  • Web & application keys: Search, Mail, Favorites
  • Modified key chords (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+Del)
• Simulate text entry and full strings
• Detect key states (pressed or toggled)
• Lightweight, no external dependencies
• NuGet-supported and production-ready

📦 Installation

Install via NuGet:

Install-Package InputSimulator

Or add to your .csproj:

<PackageReference Include="InputSimulator" Version="x.x.x" />

---

🧪 Usage Examples

Press a Single Key

InputSimulator.SimulateKeyPress(VirtualKeyCode.SPACE);

---

Key Down and Up

InputSimulator.SimulateKeyDown(VirtualKeyCode.SHIFT);
InputSimulator.SimulateKeyPress(VirtualKeyCode.VK_H);
InputSimulator.SimulateKeyPress(VirtualKeyCode.VK_I);
InputSimulator.SimulateKeyUp(VirtualKeyCode.SHIFT);

---

Complex Modified Keystrokes (e.g. Ctrl + K + C)

InputSimulator.SimulateModifiedKeyStroke(
    VirtualKeyCode.CONTROL,
    new[] { VirtualKeyCode.VK_K, VirtualKeyCode.VK_C });

---

Simulate Full Text Entry

InputSimulator.SimulateTextEntry("Hello, world!");

---

Check Key Status

bool isShiftDown = InputSimulator.IsKeyDown(VirtualKeyCode.SHIFT);
bool isCapsLockOn = InputSimulator.IsTogglingKeyInEffect(VirtualKeyCode.CAPITAL);

---
