Forums Feature Suggestions idle from computer

how about adding an identifier that tells you how long mouse has been inactive, or no key has been pressed ?

i think there is one, called $idle if i'm not mistaken

That returns how long it has been since you did something* in mIRC.

*I think the only thing that resets the counter is typing something in the edit box and pressing enter.

That's correct. If you want to keep your $idle going for as long as possible, you script everything and perform all your activity through popups.
You'll see that your mIRC's $idle time continues to go up, even though your server's idle time is very short.

nope I dont mean that
I mean idle in your computer not only in mIRC. mirc idle grows, but maybe you are doing something else in the computer. well, you are there but not looking at mirc. But, when you go lunch or something, mirc idle grows, and windows idle do so, like in messenger, that sets you away by default after 5 minutes of inactivity (mouse move or key pressed wherever).
So I'd like to get windows idle

I'd love to see this too. I have this script that runs/updates automatically once a night, but it is very long and intensive. I currently use the $idle identifier so try to prevent it from going when i'm around, but getting the idle value from the OS, much like it would use to activate the screensaver, would be perfect for me.
