How can i send keyboard input from Go language, like virtual keyboard

[SProgrammer]

How can i send keyboard input from Go language, like virtual keyboard, is there any sample sites where many examples are available for initial basic versions to play with?

Like in Lua samples by categories to just get started ( http://lua-users.org/wiki/SampleCode)

Thank you

I don't know. It really depends more on your operating system than on the programming language. If you ask a more specific question maybe someone can help you.

There is a site gobyexample.com. I haven't looked at it enough to know if it's any good, but it sounds like what you're looking for.

@Andy Balholm: i could not find any example of keyboard button press via Go. Specially how to trigger button press for Windows and Mac using Go?

Tried following but its a listener.

signal.Notify(sigs, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)

You need use some OS API function, it's possible to invoke arbitrary
windows functions with syscall.Syscall.
Something here must give you the answer:

For OS X you could (and this might be missing a better way) exec AppleScript, use CGO and Quartz C bindings or the appscript package from PyPi (http://appscript.sourceforge.net/). 

(sometimes there's better tools for the job!)
