Detect Input IDLE on MacOS and Linux

It's need to port our software on MacOS and Linux. How can I detect input IDLE on MacOS and Linux using Delphi 10.2?



In Windows I use :



 aLastInputInfo.cbSize := SizeOf(TLastInputInfo);
GetLastInputInfo(aLastInputInfo);

case (GetTickCount - aLastInputInfo.dwTime) / 1000 / 60 > IDLE_TIMER of
True: Synchronize(OnExecuted);
False: Synchronize(OnExcepted);
end;


But this is platform specific, relying on Windows API calls.

  • What do you mean when you say "System IDLE"? Show us what you are checking on Windows so we can understand what you mean.
