Creating keyboard/mouse macro software

[Peter Olcott]

I need to know the interface to the Linux operating system
required to feed simulated keystrokes and simulated mouse
actions to other software applications.

Is it for X11? If yes, look at the code of xmacrorec2 and xmacroplay

This is ultimately for every OS of every kind on every
platform. I am starting with MS Windows, Mac OS X, and
Linux.

This sounds quite a bit like "expect" -- you may want to start by
looking at the source code.

I want to start with determining whether or not this
approach is feasible.

If it is feasible, then I want to enumerate the number of
different approaches that will be required to cover all
three of these operating systems. It is beginning to look
like Linux may require more than one approach, depending
upon the window system that is available. I am estimating
that "X" is not universally available to all Linux systems.
I do not know how many different Windowing systems are
available under Linux.

That sounds like a great idea, except that I can't find the
source code. The source code that I found was for xmacrorec,
and that is only good for remote access.
