Overview

input.device merges events from keyboard, mouse, gameport, and timer into a single input stream that feeds Intuition. Input handlers can be installed at various priorities to filter, modify, or consume events.


Handler Priority Levels

Priority Consumer
100 System reserved
51+ Custom high-priority handlers
50 Intuition
20 Console.device
0 Default

Commands

Code Constant Description
9 IND_ADDHANDLER Add input handler
10 IND_REMHANDLER Remove input handler
11 IND_WRITEEVENT Inject an InputEvent into the stream
12 IND_SETTHRESH Set double-click threshold
13 IND_SETPERIOD Set key repeat period
14 IND_SETMPORT Set mouse port type
15 IND_SETMTRIG Set mouse trigger
16 IND_SETMTYPE Set mouse type
