Auto Cursor Movement on File Script

This Python script automates keyboard right arrow key and pressing right arrow key to move through a document or file using the pyautogui library. It provides functionality to pause and resume moving based on user input, specifically using the Esc key.

Features

• Movement Automation: Moves the cursor to the start of the file and move to the end by simulating right arrow key presses.
• Pause Functionality:
  • Press Esc once to pause the script for 10 seconds.
  • Press Esc and hold it for more than 0.5 seconds, then press Esc twice to pause the script.
  • Press Esc twice to resume scrolling when the script is paused.

Prerequisites

• Python: Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system.
• Required Libraries: Install the required Python libraries using pip.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository (if applicable):

   git clone https://github.com/imparth7/keyboard-automation.git
   cd keyboard-automation

2. Install Required Libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Prepare Your Document:

   • Make sure the document or file you want to move through is in focus.

2. Run the Script:

   python main.py

3. Controlling the Script:

   • Press Esc once: Pauses the script for 10 seconds.
   • Hold Esc for more than 0.5 seconds: Switches to waiting for a double Esc press.
   • Press Esc twice: Toggles the pause state. The script will resume if it was paused.

Notes

• Ensure that the document or window you want to move through is active and focused when running the script.
• Adjust the sleep durations in the script if necessary to match your system’s performance and responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

• Script Not Scrolling: Verify that the document is focused and the right arrow key moves the cursor as expected. Adjust the sleep times if needed.
• Key Presses Not Detected: Ensure the keyboard library has the necessary permissions and that no other program is intercepting key presses.
