    You can use java.awt.Robot.

    val robot = new java.awt.Robot
robot.mouseMove(100,100)    // Cursor will jump to the top left of your screen

    Note that you have to enter text keycode by keycode (see java.awt.event.KeyEvent). This is pretty annoying, but you can write code to automate the pressing and releasing of keys. (You do need to release every key you press! It’s emulating the keyboard….)
