Comparison with sendkeys?

Open grigorye opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Hi there, thanks for your tool, recently I started using it in my project. Before finding this project, I started using sendkeys (https://github.com/socsieng/sendkeys) without realizing that it can do mouse clicks. I know that cliclick also can do key presses.

Hence, I'm torn between the two projects/leaning towards using just one, and would appreciate any comparison between sendkeys and cliclick...

Until this issue, I had never heard of sendkeys. The project description sounds indeed pretty similar to cliclick. As long as you don’t need any particular functionality that one tool offers and the other one doesn’t, I’d guess it is more a question of personal taste when it comes the invocation syntax. (But that’s just gut feeling, I haven’t used sendkeys myself.) Anyway, I’d also be interested in a comparison or arguments why one of them could be regarded as “better” (whatever that means …).
