Automator Virtual Input broadens Automator's capabilities, allowing it to take full command of the keyboard and mouse cursor.
Using Automator Virtual Input is simple - just list the actions you want to perform like any other Automator action and then use the 'Run Virtual Input' action to control the keyboard and mouse. This allows you to access all the functions available in any given program.
One of the biggest advantages to Automator Virtual Input is the ability to carry out these actions invisibly for a clean, integrated look to your workflows. Version 2 also includes the ability to resize and reposition active windows, press and hold down keys, and simulate Tab, Return, Arrow, or Function keys being pressed.
In addition, the software comes with three example workflows and full explanations of the actions taking place in each. This demonstrates what Automator Virtual Input is capable of and gives you a starting point for creating your own custom workflows.
Overall, Automator Virtual Input is a powerful tool for anyone using Apple's Automator program. With its ability to simulate mouse and keyboard actions, it expands the possibilities of what you can automate and streamlines your workflows.
