An event based, Global Keyboard and Mouse listener.

Tested on Windows 7, but should work on Linux and Mac OS X as well (untested).

Node didn't have any global keyboard and mouse listener available at the time.

GKM depends on JNativeHook, which runs on Java. Thus you will need to have a JVM available and more importantly, java availble on your PATH.

In the lib folder, you will find gkm.jar, which source you can find at https://github.com/tomzx/gkm-java. You will also find JNativeHook.jar, which source you can find at https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook.

Install gkm via node.js package manager:

npm install gkm --save

Then require the package in your code:

var gkm = require('gkm');

// Listen to all key events (pressed, released, typed)
gkm.events.on('key.*', function(data) {
    console.log(this.event + ' ' + data);
});

// Listen to all mouse events (click, pressed, released, moved, dragged)
gkm.events.on('mouse.*', function(data) {
	console.log(this.event + ' ' + data);
});
