# Tikker

Tikker is Dutch for typer. 

This is an application for monitoring your key presses.

It will store all your keypresses in a database called 'tikker.db' in current work directory.

Pre-build binaries:
 - Download using `curl -OJ https://retoor.molodetz.nl/api/packages/retoor/generic/tikker/1.0.0/tikker`
.
 - Or download using `wget https://retoor.molodetz.nl/api/packages/retoor/generic/tikker/1.0.0/tikker`.

## Usage 
Execute as root is important!
```
sudo ./tikker
```
It can be annoying to have the terminal open the whole day. I advise to use tmux or install it as systemd service. If you install it as systemd service, you're sure you'll never miss a key press! Make sure that you define the work directory where the database should be stored in systemd service.

## Compilation
Compilation requires sqlite3 development header files.
```
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
```
Building:
```
make build
```
Building and running:
```
make
```

## Output explained
```
Keyboard: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard, Event: RELEASED, Key Code: 15 Pr: 24 Rel: 25 Rep: 14
```
Description is quite clear I assume in exception of last three. These are explained below:
 - Pr = key presses this session (so not the total in database).
 - Rel = key releases this session (so not the total in database). Release is one more than presses due startup of application that only registers the release of a key.
 - Rep = when you hold you key down thus repeats. Also for only session, not database totals.
