About
KeyFlare is a useful tool that enables users to interactively control their mouse using their keyboard. KeyFlare can provide an expanded user experience for those who prefer to use a keyboard over a mouse. Showcases available soon on week 5 (old showcases available on week 2 and 3) of my senior project page. Please fill out the survey
Features
- Intuitive keyboard-based mouse control: KeyFlare shows a list of coordinates representing UI elements on your screen that you can click on by typing the unique alphabetical identifier for a coordinate of interest.
- Improved hotkeys: Initating KeyFlare with Left Alt+A+Z combination will click the screen once at the end while the right Alt+A+Z combination will click the screen twice.
- Inputs arguments let you define the number of clicks when run from terminal
- Customizable user experience: A preferences window allows users to change the background color, exit the application, or exit just the current process (or by pressing Return).
- Enhanced image segmentation algorithm that optimizes usability and installation speed.
- Cross-platform compatibility with Linux, macOS, and Windows: all desktop environments!
Installation
For all users
- Download and run the latest KeyFlare binary from the the releases.
- Although I am an unverified developer, you can ignore those warnings. I plan to solve this problem in the near future.
For linux users
- You may have to make the script executable first before you can run it.
- You may need to connect a system hotkey to the command
/path/to/keyflare 1(the number represents the number of clicks) since pynput's keyboard library may not work on wayland-based systems.
