A package corresponding to TIP 245 that gives you the amount of time a user has been inactive. [davidw] - I packaged up the code I found in the TIP proposal patch and have put it at http://www.dedasys.com/freesoftware/files/ (look for tkinactive). It's in an initial "it works for me" state, but could probably use more fixing, and could certainly use someone with MacOS X expertise to add that bit back in (I don't have a Mac system to do the work on). Currently supports Linux and Windows (with some manual build steps). Works like so: tkinactive ?-displayof window? ?reset? and returns the inactive time in milliseconds. '''Note''' that under Windows this package requires the availability of the '''SendInput''' system call which isn't available in all versions of Windows. It cannot work at all on 9x series of Windows, and on NT-based versions the requirements are: Service pack 3 for Windows NT, Windows XP and above. Other idle time tracking facilities: * [tk inactive] for built-in support in Tk 8.5. * [tkXwin] for older versions of Tk in X Window. * [tclWinidle] for older versions of Tk in Windows (including Win9x). ---- [Category Command]
