'How to send Java key inputs to a certain window?
Is there a way to send key inputs to a certain window without putting the window in focus?
For Example, I want to spam the letter A on a google doc while I watch a movie or something.
I am aware that AutoHotKey has a feature like this. Here is my code:
public void run() {
Robot robot;
try {
robot = new Robot();
} catch (Exception e) {
return;
}
for (double i = 5000; i > 0; i-=100) {
System.out.println("Starting in " + i/1000 + " seconds");
wait(100);
}
while (GetLocation.getLocation(mainGUI.url).session.mode.equals("dynamic")) {
// I want to make the following run while I am tabbed out in another window,
and I only want it to send the inputs to that window
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_W);
robot.mousePress(MouseEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
}
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_W);
robot.mouseRelease(MouseEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
}
