I would like to create a macro so whenever I hold a key, it will click the current position of mouse for x amount of time and releases for y amount of time.
The only ones I have found only click and pause instead of holding down the mouse button or I am only allowed to click in intervals of a tenth of a second (I would like to be able to click in a hundredth of second or even better... a millisecond). Does anybody know any good mac compatible programs out there?

I originally had code that set the focus to the first widget in a dialog, in the onInit method. But there were problems with it: if I pressed TAB, indeed focus moved to next control (wxTextCtrl), which got the blue 'focus' color, but the 'focus' color/highlight was not removed from previous focus widget. So now it looked like both first and second control had focus at the same time...
When cycling manually (by pressing TAB) full circle (till last control and then wrap around to the first), suddenly all worked well. That is, when moving focus from first control to next one, the first visually lost focus (blue color was removed) as it should. From now on, only one item had the focus color/highlight.
So instead of setting focus on the first control, I tried a different approach: I set the focus to the last control in the dialog, which is always the OK button. Next, I want to emulate programmatically that a TAB is pressed and received by the dialog. So I wrote this (inside Dialog::onInit):
m_buttonOK->SetFocus();
wxKeyEvent key;
key.SetEventObject(this);
key.SetEventType(wxEVT_CHAR);
key.m_keyCode=WXK_TAB;
ProcessWindowEvent(key);
Now the focus indeed moves away from the OK button, but it does not wrap around to the first control.
Only when I manually press TAB after the dialog opened, the first item gets focus.
Question: why does this wrapping around to set focus on first widget not work with the code shown above?
First of all, your initial problem is almost certainly related to not calling event.Skip() in one of your event handlers, see the note in wxFocusEvent documentation.
Second, you can't send wx events to the native windows, they don't know anything about it. In this particular case you can use wxWindow::Navigate() to do what you want, but generally speaking what you're doing simple can't, and won't, work reliably.
First of all hi guys!
I was trying to write a mouse controller app for mac os x which is reading inputs from keyboard and moves the mouse accordingly. By garbage input i will describe the input was intented for a mouse event but it creates text on screen.
Before anyone points to the fact that there is a built in one, It was laggy even in shortest lag setting and cannot registers more than two buttons at the same time (you have to press diagonals to go to the diagonal.) If you accidentally press another button when release of the accident button your motion stops. My first and last reaction was "rubbish!". Adding customization and extra features is my goal.
I want to create a key combination that will block the garbage input to be passed to other programs while it was held. But global monitoring and seems like it always passes the event. And unfortunately I see qqqqqqqwwwwwww like text in unwanted places.
I want to see that when i press q w and up, it will make the mouse go up. But i create qqqqqqqwwwwww mess on the way. My first idea was creating a view on popover and handle events there, but whenever I want to use my mouse from keyboard seeing a popover is anoying and I couldn't find a way to show the popover without leaving any garbage keyboard input.
What should i do in this situation?
You will want to use Quartz Event Taps. Note that for an application to tap keyboard events, it has to be trusted for accessibility (as in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility). Your app can ask to be made trusted using AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions().
How can I determine the amount of movement a mouse is allowed between two click for the WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK message to be fired?
MSDN Receiving Double-Click Messages
The OS generates a double-click message when the user clicks a mouse
button twice in quick succession. When the user clicks a button, the
OS establishes a rectangle centered on the hot spot of the cursor. The
OS also marks the time at which the click occurred. When the user
clicks the same button a second time, the OS determines whether the
hot spot is still within the rectangle and calculates the time elapsed
since the first click. If the hot spot is still within the rectangle
and the elapsed time does not exceed the time-out value for a
double-click, the OS generates a double-click message. An application
can retrieve the time-out value for a double-click by using the
GetDoubleClickTime function.
I am able to determine the maximum allowed time interval GetDoubleClickTime but would like to know the maximum of mouse moment allowed.
From the documentation for GetSystemMetrics:
The second click must occur within the rectangle that is defined by
SM_CXDOUBLECLK and SM_CYDOUBLECLK for the system to consider the two
clicks a double-click.
int x_limit = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXDOUBLECLK);
int y_limit = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYDOUBLECLK);
I searched already for this for some time, but could not find a solution.
I have mouse_wheel_switches_tabs set to true, but on my system and with my mouse, when I scroll the minimal amount possible on the mousewheel, already 2 tabs are switched.
Is there a setting to make the amount, that the mousewheel advances (or goes back) in the open tabs smaller?
I do not want to change my mouse settings, because they are already adjusted to everything else.
I believe this should be adjustable, because you can never garanty that on all systems the mouse wheel has a similar pace.
I also tried to set the scroll_speed setting to values above or below 1, and also to 0, but this did not change anything.
I am on windows and I am not adding a version number, because I will happily switch to any version that can do this.
Mouse wheel is not something that is calculated in small steps, but rather it has a concrete amount of events fired for each scroll step, thus SublimeText can't do anything but receive 2 steps each time you do a scroll, this is controlled by system or your mouse, but I doubt that your mouse vendor has built a hardware that does fires two steps for this minimum amount.
So I highly doubt it's possible without changing your mouse settings. At least without tweaking the core of SublimeText, which is not possible as it's code is not open-source.
Using MS Visual Studio, I have attached a spin control to an edit control using the "auto buddy" property.
The spin control alters the edit box, but the up button decrements the value and the down button increments the value.
How do you fix this?
Because that's how it is. 8-) You work around it using SetRange.
The documentation says "The default range for the spin button has the maximum set to zero (0) and the minimum set to 100. Because the maximum value is less than the minimum value, clicking the up arrow will decrease the position and clicking the down arrow will increase it. Use CSpinButtonCtrl::SetRange to adjust these values." ...without any decent explanation.
The reason it works this way is because a spin control is just a thinly veiled scroll bar, and windows use a coordinate system where rows increase as you move down (so the down arrow increases the value).
To fix it, just interchange the min and max values you are currently useing when you call SetRange.
