Windows Input Simulator

This is a fork of the Windows Input Simulator (WIS) project, ported to .NET Core 6.
This project was created by michaelnoonan; I just ported it to .NET Core 6 & fixed the outdated examples, you can check them out below.

What does it do?

The Windows Input Simulator provides a simple programming interface to simulate keyboard & mouse input on Windows operating systems.
It supports keystrokes with modifier keys, and abstracts all of the required interop away so you can focus on your code.

Windows Forms provides the SendKeys method which can simulate text entry, but not actual key strokes. Windows Input Simulator can be used in WPF, Windows Forms and Console Applications to synthesize or simulate any Keyboard input including Control, Alt, Shift, Tab, Enter, Space, Backspace, the Windows Key, Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, Volume Up/Down and Mute, Web, Mail, Search, Favorites, Function Keys, Back and Forward navigation keys, Programmable keys and any other key defined in the Virtual Key table. It provides a simple API to simulate text entry, key down, key up, key press and complex modified key strokes and chords.

How does it work?

WIS uses the win32 SendInput function via p/invoke to simulate keyboard, mouse, and hardware input.

Usage

You can install it via NuGet directly, or download the .nupkg directly on the releases page.

Install-Package InputSimulatorEx

Everything is contained within the InputSimulatorEx namespace.
