Measuring Clicks/Key-presses

[Scripthen]

Hi there,

Not sure if this is possible as I haven't used AutoIT in years.

Is there anyway I can record my "clicks" (Left click and also a special "G1" click) and key presses with a timer?
Need to accurately measure how fast a key or mouse has been pushed as a benchmark.

 

Also, is there anyway that Autoit can grab and identify the keys pushed on 'special' mouse buttons?

 

Thanks.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Can you please tell us what you need this information for?

Benchmarking - as it says.

I've read and understood what you have written
But I don't understand why you need to benchmark how fast you press keys and mouse buttons

[Scripthen]

Because I have Raynaud's and my fingers are slowly starting to seize up and to prevent it I’m setting myself goals. That's the benchmark.

I know what you're thinking, that I want to bot for games which is kind of impossible as the proof is in the attachment.

If you don't want to help out I'll find it out for myself. Just I can't do it with Python on Linux, just windows.

@scripthen, relax a little please.

Your initial post is quite suspicious to say the least and you could have known that being here before. That statement also implies you created another account instead of reviving your old one I guess?

Either way, try to be clear and explicit on your intentions from the start and I am sure there will be somebody to assist.

Thanks for the clarification!

If you want to do it on Linux I'm not sure AutoIt will help because it only runs on Windows. On Linux you would have to install Wine and - even if Autoit and your script run successfully - I'm not sure if the measured values are accurate because of the Wine overhead.

Aren't there any programs available on the web for fast typewriting? I did a quick search and found Typing Trainer and a few more.

Autoit runs fine on Wine with all the built-in functions. I've made something similar before by clicking a label but I couldn't get it to work with keys.

Jos, I can't log in to my old account and the email associated with it is Hotmail which keeps being locked out because of some servers in China trying to brute force it so I gave up and abandoned it.
 

I can type just fine, it's my right-hand that's going and I tend to use my mouse with the right-hand which is why I mention 'mouse' the most I also use my right hand for the number pad. I'll remove that image now to protect privacy, otherwise it's pointless being on Linux.
