carrot69 / keep-presence Goto Github PK

If you are to play FPS games, or any game that locks mouse movement through Wine or Proton, script does not check for activity outside of checking if cursor coordinates have been changed. In this case, with the cursor locked, it thinks that there is inactivity, forcing mouse to be moved. This causes the mouse to no longer be focused onto the game window.

Proposed fix: use mouse and keyboard listeners to check if there was activity in between the sleep calls apart from just checking pointer location

Hi, I would like to suggest to consider also scrolling as user activity that prevents the mouse from moving.

After removing this package with:

sudo snap remove keep-presence

And then reinstalling with:

sudo snap install keep-presence

I constantly get the following error:

cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /dev /tmp/snap.rootfs_HdE3tB//dev: No such file or directory

I've tried creating the folders in /tmp/ myself, but then when I try to re-launch the application, the path changes in this error and the error will simply reappear.

keep-presence failed on Windows after some number of iterations:

It never failed like this on FreeBSD for me.

Users should be able to install keep-presence using pip.

Hi,

First of all let me tell you - I love your work, this tool is brilliant!

I am having an error when running following command: python.exe .\keep-presence.py -s 30 -p 5 -m both -c on Windows 11, using Python 3.10 and running 'main' branch code which is identical with v1.0.7 tag.

    new_x = currentPosition[0] + delta_x

It happens only when I lock my computer with CTRL+ALT+DEL. Otherwise it switches between active and idle just fine:

I am experimenting with currentPosition indices at line 121, as per error, at this time, but perhaps you can offer a better insight into the problem and/or a fix.

Thanks!

Fedora 34 uses wayland and this one doesn't work on it

Just a note: I created a package for archlinux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/keep-presence

Feel free to ping me if you think anything should be changed there (and to close this issue after reading).

It would be cool if this was pip installable, I'd be happy to help with that.

It would be nice to have a daemon mode.

I installed on a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install using the snap package. Running the app says it's moving the mouse but it doesn't in fact move the mouse. Therefore my screen turns off eventually.

How do i debug to found out what's going on?

Hi!

First of all, thank you and great job with this simple and effective tool.

However, since I moved from Ubuntu 20.10 to 21.04, the tool stopped working. I mean, it should be working, according to the logs, as it correctly detects when I'm idle, but the presence action doesn't work. The mouse mode never worked for me in reality, so I used the keyboard mode. But since the update, it doesn't seem to be effective either.
