Process Key Sender

pks is a Rust CLI for sending keystrokes to a target process on a schedule. It supports quick single-key automation from the command line and richer sequence or timer setups through JSON config files.

Safety

Use this tool only for legitimate local automation, accessibility, testing, and offline applications. Do not use it with online games, anti-cheat protected software, or services that prohibit automation.

Platform Status

• Windows: supported target platform for process lookup and key sending.
• Unix/Linux: config parsing, validation, and most tests work, but key sending is not implemented.
