VNZ-HOOK

An event based, Global Keyboard and Mouse listener.

Why?

Node didn't have any global keyboard and mouse listener available at the time.

Getting started

Install vnz-gkm via node.js package manager:

npm install vnz-hook --save

Then require the package in your code:

var vnz_hook = require('vnz-hook');
vnz_hook.windowsFocusManagementBinary = ... //replace exe path (optional)
var hook = vnz_hook.start()
// Listen to all key events (down, up)
hook.on('key.*', function(data) {
    console.log(this.event + ' ' + data);
});

// Listen to all mouse events (click, down, up, moved, dragged)
hook.on('mouse.*', function(data) {
    console.log(this.event + ' ' + data);
});
//stop listener
vnz_hook.stop()
