KeepPressing Wiki

KeepPressing is a portable Windows auto-clicker and key auto-presser. It repeats — or holds down — mouse clicks and keystrokes, and you start/stop it with a global hotkey without leaving the app you're working in.

Built with WinUI 3 and .NET 10. No installer, no registry, no MSIX registration — unzip it, run it, delete the folder to remove it completely.

Screenshot placeholder — drop a screenshot of the main window here (Usage.md describes the UI).

Quick start

1. Download the latest keep-pressing-<version>-win-x64.zip from Releases.
2. Unzip it anywhere and run KeepPressing.exe.
3. Pick a target (mouse / keyboard), an action (repeat / hold), and an interval.
4. Focus the app you want to drive, then press F6 to start/stop.

See Installation and Usage for the full walkthrough.

Key features

• Mouse repeat — left / right / middle button, at the current cursor position or a fixed coordinate (captured from the screen with F8).
• Keyboard repeat — assign any key.
• Hold mode — press down on start, release on stop.
• Global hotkey — default F6 (selectable from F5 / F6 / F7 / F9 / F10); works while the target app keeps focus. Mash Esc for an emergency stop while running.
• Portable — self-contained, no install, no registry; remove by deleting the folder.
