I need a keyboard shortcut to move my cursor to the end of the line while coding in google colab without moving my hand from the main keyboard. Now I use mouse or the arrow keys in the numeric keyboard which is hampering the speed of my coding.
I checked the solution online but did not get a perfect solution yet.

I am working with a VB.NET user control which should use the hand cursor when the mouse is over it.
This bit does work - when the cursor is on top of the control, we get a hand. A bug has been reported by the customer, which I have been able to reproduce, that when the hand cursor is changed in the Windows mouse settings it still uses the Windows default cursor. The arrow cursor does update.
Me.Parent.Control.Cursor = Cursors.Hand
What am I missing to get this to use the correct one? I'm guessing there's an easier way than going to the registry to find the hand cursor for the current user and loading that in as a custom cursor object?
I have tried to do a Google search for this, but I am only finding results for different environments (CSS, etc), or articles about what a cursor is.
I'm working with a Bloomberg data sheet and I need to export this sheet into Excel. The only way of doing so is through clicking the "export" button in the Bloomberg window. Is there any way to use code to accomplish this click. I would appreciate help with 1) indicating which coding language should be used 2) the physical code syntax that can accomplish my goal
I've tried using VBA, but there is no automatic control of the mouse.
There are two alternatives you may use to simulate mouse and keyboard automation on Windows platform.
AutoHotKey
AutoIT
I would personally recommend using AutoHotKey. It has a very extensive documentation and a fairly active community.
Additionally, please try to use keyboard shortcuts (E.g Alt+F) instead of mouse movements. If you're using keyboard shortcuts, you'll be less prone to unwanted behaviour.
Extra: If you have a web application, you may use Selenium. It works neatly with Java or Python.
I need to copy and paste some stuff. I was thinking the easiest way was to record my mouse movement (and maybe keyboard) and then just repeating that. Is this the most efficent solution for me? I have no automated software experience whatsoever.
I was thinking about using this : http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/59817-mouse-movement-click-recorder/, but it doesn't record the keyboard. This task is time-sensitive, so that's why I need it to be beginner friendly (because I have no experience).
Quick googling found out few tools:
Mouse Recorder Pro
Mini Mouse Macro
Both look like what you need. I'm sure you're able to find more tools.
First off, I hope this is the right place to post this. I am new, and Stack Exchange was the first site I thought of for this question. After reading the "How to Ask" page here, I don't see a better place. Let me know if I'm missing something and there's a place more suited for this question.
My question here, with background info below: Does anyone know how to use only pitch and roll for a mouse in GlovePIE, without yaw and IR?
Background: basically, I want to use my wiimote for mouse + WASD for PC gaming, but I cannot use an IR sensor bar. (I am CADding around the wiimote for a project and this material will end up obstructing the signal.) I have at my disposal: an RVL-036 wiimote and a broadcomm bluetooth dongle with a hacked Toshiba stack, a used RVL-003 wiimote I bought when the 036 didn't pan out, Wiinremote, and GlovePIE.
GlovePIE doesn't work with the 036 wiimote, and neither does Wiinremote even though I expected it to. With the 003, Wiinremote gives me perfect mouse movement using pitch and roll (I hear yaw needs an IR sensor). The problem is: I can set keys in Wiinremote such as Up on the D-pad to W on the keyboard, Left to A, and Down to S, but they only work in web browsers and such and not in-game.
My focus is now on GlovePIE scripts because I hear it does a good job in-game getting wiimote buttons to act as keyboard keys. (I first tried lednerg's motionplus script, but obviously I get "motion plus NOT DETECTED" in the debug field. I can click with the script running, but I just can't pan the cursor around.) I have looked around for mouse scripts so that I can add my own WASD key assignments, but every script I have found uses an IR sensor bar. I know it must be possible to use only roll and pitch for a mouse in GlovePIE--because Wiinremote handles it beautifully--but I have unsuccessfully tried looking for wii-specific GlovePIE tutorials and I don't understand the general syntax or how to call on the wiimote in GlovePIE.
I basically want to do exactly what Wiinremote does but in GlovePIE in the hopes of getting keys to work in-game.
My question: does anyone know how to use only pitch and roll for a mouse or know how I can familiarize myself with GlovePIE's language to do it myself?
Thanks.
Thanks, nwk and Tim. I posted on Super User. But I think I just answered my own question anyway. I found a stupidly simple solution: run GlovePIE and Wiinremote simultaneously, GlovePIE for buttons and Wiinremote for the mouse. facepalm
GlovePIE's syntax seems simple enough from others' button assignment scripts, as long as I stay away from mouse scripting.
I picked vb.net for this question since it's the only prgramming language I am fairly familair with, but if C++ or something else is more suited for this, I am willing to learn something new.
What I am trying to do is:
Retrieve text from database (this already works in vb.net) and copy it to clipboard
Switch primary screen to the external application I want to work with (example: word or open office)
Emulate key-press Enter
Paste text and hit Enter again
Emulate key-press Ctrl and then emulate a click on a pre-defined spot on the screen (like 500pixels from left, 740pixels from top).
Save screenshot, using a second value from the database as the filename (the naming part should be easy)
Emulate another click on another pre-defined spot
Repeat for next text in database.
I wouldn't know where to start, though. I guess the most important part of what I'm trying to achieve is; switching focus to an external application and emulate keypresses and mouse clicks on it.
use http://www.autohotkey.com/
write a console app to get the value from the database
1 - get autohotkey to run the console app and put the return into the clipboard
then continue as described in your list.
