How can I pause a youtube video or game with sfml?
« on: February 21, 2018, 06:09:55 pm »
Hi

I have made a program that reacts to player input and resets a predetermined timer. If you do not click, the timer will run out and a screen will pop up.

I would like to know if it is possible to send some kind of keyboard input to the browser using SFML

Thanks for any help.

No, SFML doesn't support simulated inputs. You may want to use the OS API directly or some tool like AutoHotkey.
