Abstract

See full text

Monitoring text input from a keyboard and from a pointing device, is done by monitoring input from a user keyboard for entry of text and cursor controls; monitoring input from a pointing device; logging keyboard entered text to a key log; and responsive to input selectively from the pointing device and keyboard selectively signaling a command action, determining text contents of the command action and logging the text contents to the key log in sequence with the keyboard entered text. A temporary storage is provided for storing copied content, and for storing pointing device input device definitions and key command definitions for each application. A log file stores a key log table for each application; and a key logger stores to the key log table entered text reconstructed with reference to the pointing device position, the copied content, the pointing device input device definitions, and the key command definitions.
