Holding down a button?

Asked by Simon K

Before you ask, ive seen this question already - https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/99808

My question is - has this been implemented since then? If not, how would one go about simulating a key held down for x seconds or until X appears on the screen?

Thanks in advance

Are you not using Sikuli X (at least rc2) ?

since Sikuli X we have

keyDown(), KeyUp()

and

mouseDown(), mouseUp()

more info: see docs.

If you want to search (wait) and hold down in parallel, you have to combine it with observe(FOREVER, background = True).

I havent actually sat down to sikuli yet, I'm currently researching various GUI testing tools, and decided to ask - thanks for help!

I've got to say though, Sikuli looks promising!
