    last mouse movment or keyboard hit

    Hi,

    I would like to get the time of the most recent human activity like a cursor
    movement or a key hit.
    Does anyone know how I can get this back to start some action after there
    has been no activity for X minutes/seconds?
    Thank you!

      Which platform? On non-ancient Windows versions, you can periodically
      check GetLastInputInf o

          No, it would be for Linux and preferrably it would work on MacOS & Windows
          as well....is there anything?

              You can use wxPython. Take a look on the DemoFiles that you can
              download also from the site. I remember that there has been a demo of
              capturing mouse coordinates and also one example about capturing Which
              key has been pressed at which time.
              Just start the time, count the interactions of key strokes and mouse
              gestures. Apply some statistics and voila. there it is.

                  Does wx catch all events in all other applications?
                  My understanding is that the OP wants a global detection, not restricted
                  to a single application.

                      But that wouldn't be system wide, would it? :o

                          Exactly, I would like to have it global/system widely detected

                              Try hooking yourself into the OS screen-saver-code.

                                  I have looked at the KDE code but couldn't quite figure out how it's
                                  working... :o Any help would be appreciated!
