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 10.12 with typing. I am on
10.12.2, so maybe it has already been fixed.
This is a priceless Christmas gift to me. Wow!
With kind regards,
Terry Vogelaar
