AutoKeyTyper is a JavaFX application with a very small repertoire:

1. It can generate a sequence of native key typed events for some chosen input text after a specified delay. The events are added to the platform's input queue, which is equivalent to typing the input text on a keyboard.
2. It can periodically generate a pair of native key pressed and key released events for a specified key, with a specified interval between key presses. This is equivalent to repeatedly pressing and releasing a key on a keyboard at regular intervals.

The first ability may be used to enter text into an input field (for example, a password field on a web page) that doesn't allow text to be pasted into it from the system clipboard. The second ability may be used to prevent a computer from entering a power-saving sleep state while a non-interactive or unattended application is running.

This is a preliminary document; more information on this project will be along later.
