==name input

==short-description

Simulate user input events.

==long-description

A command that converts console key presses into arbitrary user input events, typically Symbian OS key events. Note, similar functionality is available via Autometric. However, the Autometric command syntax is intended for scripting as so is verbose. By contrast this command accepts single character inputs making it better suited to interactive use. Also, Autometric can only be used if the btrace buffer is free. This command doesn't use btrace and so doesn't have this limitation.

==option bool s show

Show the key mappings available for this platform.

==option uint k scan-code

Input a specific keypress as a scan-code and then exit.

==option uint m modifiers

Must be used in conjunction with C<--scan-code>. Specifies a set of modifiers to be used with the scan-code (as defined in F<e32keys.h>).

==argument uint key optional

Simulate a single event and then exit. If not specified, continually reads keys from the console. 'q' causes the command to exit.
