The work you have done is awesome, but am curious to know whether there is any port for Ubuntu(Linux) of this code?

Hi @swapgit Currently code only works for Windows OS. I will try to make it work for Linux system next month. Here are some helpful links, please have a look: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/25601/how-do-mouse-events-work-in-linux http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20595716/control-mouse-by-writing-to-dev-input-mice https://installthetech.com/2017/03/10/controlling-vlc-player-through-bash-script/

I guess , instead of writing separate code to work in Linux , you can simply port the code in Python, so it will become platform independent!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will work on it.
