did you mean is there some way of writing into the keyboard/mouse buffer to SIMULATE inputs that could be used to control applications OTHER than pd?
That's it . I'm working with handicaped people and most of them can not use their hand or clic to manipulate softwares .We have some tracking devices ( midi ,polhemus , webcam ,.. ) that we want to use to drive other software .
as far as I know this is not possible so far (but I may be very wrong); simulating mouse input makes no sense though, as it is unclear what it would do with any real mouse input.
So , ...I ' m not a dev , and don't know pd so mutch , but do you think it ' ll be complex to write such object ? My only other solution is to midi control out a device that i plug onto a real mouse wheel ...°-( Heavy !
if you just want to be able to use these inputs (mouse and keyboard) to control pd patches then that is straightforward and Hans has already listed a few such objects.
