AutoFire

A utility for automatically pressing keys at regular intervals.

Description

RapidFire is a simple auto key-press utility that simulates continuous key presses after you've pressed a key once. It's useful for scenarios where repeated key presses are needed, such as in games, form filling, or text repetition.

Features

• Start auto-pressing by pressing any key once
• Continue pressing at 1-second intervals (configurable)
• Stop immediately with a key combination (Ctrl+Esc+W) (also configurable)
• Lightweight with minimal dependencies

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the script:

python rapid_fire.py

2. Press any key to begin auto-pressing that key every second
3. Press Ctrl+Esc+W to stop the auto-pressing functionality

Fallback CLI Mode

If the keyboard listener fails to initialize, the program will automatically switch to Command-Line Interface (CLI) mode. In this mode, you can use the following commands:

• start <key> - Start auto-pressing a key (e.g., 'start a' or 'start space')
• stop - Stop current auto-pressing
• interval <seconds> - Change the press interval (e.g., 'interval 0.5')
• exit or quit - Exit the program

Special Keys

For special keys, use these keywords:

• space - Space key
• enter - Enter key
• tab - Tab key
• esc - Escape key
• ctrl - Control key
• alt - Alt key
• shift - Shift key

Advanced Configuration

You can modify the rapid_fire.py script to change:

• Key press interval (default: 1 second)
• Stop key combination (default: Ctrl+Esc+W)

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• keyboard library (automatically installed via requirements.txt)

Note

This utility requires root/administrator privileges to run on most systems due to the keyboard library needing global keyboard access.
