Keyboard and mouse script functions

Functions for C# (Cb.Call) and Python (cb.call). See Script functions for how to use them.

Value What to put in
keys The keys to press, like "Ctrl+Shift+F1". Split several with commas, like "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V". SendKeys text like "^c" or "{ENTER}" works too.

Gives back: true when the keys were pressed.

var answer = await Cb.Call("input.keyPress", new { keys = "Ctrl+Shift+F1" });
answer = cb.call("input.keyPress", keys="Ctrl+Shift+F1")

input.status

Tells you how Cuebot presses keys and watches mouse clicks on this computer, and whether that works.

Gives back: keyboard (the key pressing method), keyboardStatus, mouse (the mouse click method) and mouseStatus, all as text.

var answer = await Cb.Call("input.status");
answer = cb.call("input.status")
