Enigo is a cross-platform Rust library for simulating keyboard and mouse input on Linux (X11/Wayland/libei), Windows, macOS, and BSDs. It provides a simple API for moving the mouse, clicking, and typing text programmatically.
Use cases
- simulate keyboard and mouse input in Rust
- automate GUI interactions cross-platform
- programmatically type text and click buttons
- build UI automation or testing tools in Rust
- control mouse cursor position from code
- script desktop input events on Linux, macOS, and Windows
When to choose
- you need input simulation in a Rust project across multiple operating systems
- you want a maintained crate with a simple API for mouse and keyboard control
- you need X11, Wayland, or libei support on Linux
When to avoid
- you need input simulation in a language other than Rust
- you require fully stable Wayland or libei support (still experimental with known bugs)
- you need higher-level GUI test frameworks with element inspection rather than raw input injection
