Small amount of history, I'm referring to this mouse/typing watcher: https://github.com/smontanaro/python-bits/blob/master/src/watch.py I wrote this years and years ago when I first started having RSI problems. So long ago that I just deleted a commented out piece of code which was there in case I ever ran it with Python 1.4(!). Over the years I've needed it on Linux, Linux+WIndows, Mac, etc. I'd put it away for a couple years, then suffer a flare-up and pull it back out. I never thought I'd need it after I retired, but here I am again. I've tried all sorts of things to monitor mouse and keyboard activity. At the moment I'm just using a Linux laptop, so have tossed out any sort of attempted cross-platform tracking functionality. > Now, the only problem is... figuring out your window ID.

I'm struggling to get the outermost window (not sure what's going on), but I will keep messing around. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
