Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

If I remember what I read, yes it was only 10.12 so yeah, Its most likely fixed by 10.12.2 Merry Christmas! On Sun, Dec 25, 2016 at 10:25 PM, Terry Vogelaar wrote: > Thank you, Mike, for this! This is what I was searching for indeed. And > you're right; I want to detect activity, not just scrol

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

Thank you, Mike, for this! This is what I was searching for indeed. And you're right; I want to detect activity, not just scrolling. Scrolling was the only activity I could not catch yet, hence the subject line. But this does exactly what I want. Fortunately I can not replicate the issue with 1

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

Actually, the question boils down to "is the user active." not "what key is pressed, was a screen scrolled(using what device) , or what button was clicked." I could be wrong. /shrug The only recent issue that needed to be solved is that scroll is an activity too, and there was no easy way to get

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

I have just tried this: 1. When the stack is frontMost it puts a large digit number (5-8 after the decimal point) into the field at all sorts of intervals. There is no obvious connexion between any of these numbers and the keys I am currently bashing on to type this message, nor when I use

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

The script does an end run of the whole situation. The os itself is keeping track of the idle time between user events. All the script does is grab the current value. And since only HID (human interface devices) are tracked, any mouse/keyboard activity in any app of the system will reset the time

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

Does that mean that if, say, I have a stack running your script in the stackScript and I'm scrolling a window in Firefox that that scrolling will register in the LC stack? The reason I am asking that question is because I don't quite understand how one effect a mouseUp while one is scrolling w

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

I have an answer.. Heres a sample script: local sRunning on mouseUp if sRunning is empty then put false into sRunning put not sRunning into sRunning loopit end mouseUp command loopit if sRunning then put the last word of (shell("ioreg -c IOHIDSystem |grep Idle")) into tIdle put tIdle / 1

Re: Detect scroll activity (when LC is not frontmost)

A lot of responses to my question; thank you all for that. I use the digest, so sometimes it takes a while before I respond. Richard's suggestion to keep the LC window in front is not what I want. It needs to run in the background because it is for a productivity & RSI-prevention app. The whole
