A list of all events that can be registred(used with "on" function)

• wheel Triggres when scrolling wheel (not when clicking).
• left_down Triggres when left btn press starts.
• left_up Triggres when left btn gets released.
• right_down Triggres when right btn press starts.
• right_up Triggres when right btn gets released.
• any Triggres for every event listed above (originaly used for activity detetion or global hook function).

• remove(event,Function) Removes a registred function from Events type.

Why & How

Why windows?

This module supports only windows as I use windows (sorry tho)..

How does it works?

The detection is using C# & windows dll hooks - outputing it to node.

Why not other modules?

There might be other modules that do thats BUT i didnt manges to find any, found only Linux related or old/outdated ones..
