Top 7 Rust Input Projects

crossterm

4 2,694 6.7 Rust

Cross platform terminal library rust

Project mention: Canonical way to handle concurrent events with crates that don't model that use case | /r/rust | 2023-05-21

I guess you could use EventStream like in this example
autopy

1 768 0.0 Rust

A simple, cross-platform GUI automation module for Python and Rust.

Project mention: Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-03

Reciprocally, it's just amazing how much better AutoHotKey is at scripting the computer is than everything else is. The language was clearly never the reason why AHK persisted.
There's works like AutoPy (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopy) and AutoPilot-rs (https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs), but they offer like 1/100th the capabilities AHK does.
Personally I think this kind of computer-control is the perfect environment for teaching computing. Rather than writing apps or webapps, I feel like the idea of just writing code to do what you the user would do anyways, but better, is a fantastic introduction to computing & programming. In my ideal world, we'd have an EVE Online server that specifically re-enables the game-client's python interpretter (and periodically does total wipes), so folks can learn to program by scripting not just their desktop, but a complex & interesting game, via it's rich api.

console_engine

A simple terminal framework to draw things and manage user input
tui-input

0 77 0.0 Rust

TUI input library supporting multiple backends, tui-rs and ratatui
pad-motion

1 11 10.0 Rust

Implementation of Cemuhook gamepad motion protocol.

Project mention: Playing MPR with genuine mouse control! | /r/yuzu | 2023-02-17

Luckily after tons of searching I found a obscure bare-bones program with a whopping zero documentation called Pad Motion, which seems to be the ONLY mouse-to-motion solution for cemuhook. It works, but the sensitivity is way too high and the x axis is inverted. Unfortunately the program has absolutely no customizability, so you're stuck with what it gives you. Plus Yuzu has no ability to invert motion controls and MPR lacks the feature as well.
