clicktogether

a clicktogether server will click a specified keyboard key once all clients have clicked theirs.

intended for reading books/visual novels/etc with multiple people.

usage

host

clicktogether host <KEY> where <KEY> is the keyboard key you want the server to press.
use " " for space and \n for return.

client

clicktogether join <ADDRESS> <USERNAME> where <ADDRESS> is the address to the server including the port without a trailing slash and <USERNAME> is the username you want to use.

Platform-Specific Setup

(note: these instructions are only required if you want to host from one of these platforms. running clicktogether as a client should work with no further setup.)

Linux

the clicktogether server currently only works on X (no wayland support).
we are using the enigo rust library to simulate input, which does not yet support wayland.

'xdotool' is a runtime dependency. see this page for information about how to install on your distribution.

OSX

Open 'System Preferences' and go to 'Privacy & Security' -> 'Accessibility' (in the sidebar), and check the box for the terminal emulator you are using.

Windows

clicktogether should work on windows without needing to do anything extra.
