Conditional no-user-activity trigger

Since everything with SikuliX is visual, it depends, how you are able to visually track activity/inactivity.

Another option might be, to continually track the mouse position and do your job, if the mouse is no longer moved for some time.

lastPos = Mouse.at()
lastMove = time.time()
maxWait = 15 #seconds
saved = False
while True:
    wait(1)
    currentPos = Mouse.at()
    if lastPos.x == currentPos.x and lastPos.y == currentPos.y:
        if lastMove + maxWait < time.time and not saved:
            #here you should do your actions
            saved = True
    else:
        lastMove = time.time()
        lastPos = currentPos

... you might add something, to make this endless loop interruptible - otherwise you have to kill it.

OK great. I'll try it out.
Thanks a lot

Actually what you provided seems very reasonable to me. But unfortunately I
didn't get the time to try it out until now. Hopefully to test it tonight
or tomorrow morning. I'll let you know asap.

Thanks a lot for your concern really

no problem, take your time.

Of course I am happy, if my ideas help others.
But my main motivation is, to find out, wether a situation can be supported with SikuliX. If not, it might be something to think about becoming a feature or amendment.

I've been looking at the code you suggested and thought that the point
where Mouse.at() is should be specific, which is not the case here. What if
i wanted the mouse pointer to be any where on the screen and not moving for
the defined time before taking action.
Is there any way that i can define my mouse pointer position to be anywhere
on the screen?

Thanks in advance
