 1 | # ktmm (Keep That Mouse Moving!)
 2 | 
 3 | 
 4 | ## What is this?
 5 | Ever needed to stop your computer from going into Idle mode?
 6 | 
 7 | Now it's super simple!
 8 | 
 9 | ## How does it work?
10 | This little guy will move your mouse back and forth a tiny little bit every second; and you won't even notice it!
11 | 
12 | ## When would I ever use this?
13 | Works well in companies where you can't stop your computer from Idling and things start showing as you're away when you've decided to go relax on the beach!
14 | 
15 | ## Why was this utility made?
16 | The author could not stop the screensaver from being triggered after 5 minutes (permissions issues) and while waiting for gcc/make/other to complete compiling the project files, the machine would lock up and turn off (thanks big brother company..).
17 | 
18 | This utility makes sure that the screensaver is never triggered and the compile job completes with smiles all around!
19 | 
20 | It also makes sure that the computer never, ever, ever goes into Idle mode..
21 | 
22 | ## 1. Get Setup
23 | 
24 | ```
25 | git clone https://github.com/ao/ktmm.git
26 | cd ktmm
27 | pip install -r requirements.txt
28 | ```
29 | 
30 | ## 2. Now run it
31 | `python ktmm.py`
32 | 
33 | There's no need to stop it, unless you really do want to go idle!
34 | 
35 | 
36 | ## If you want to run it in a virtualenv then do this instead:
37 | 
38 | ```
39 | git clone https://github.com/ao/ktmm.git
40 | cd ktmm
41 | virtualenv -p python3 env
42 | . env/bin/activate
43 | pip install -r requirements.txt
44 | python ktmm.py
45 | ```
46 | 
47 | # Looking for a cross-platform version?
48 | If you need a cross-platform version, you can use the [Java version](https://github.com/ao/ktmm-java)
