Simulating keyboard input on macOS using Rust involves leveraging Core Graphics bindings to programmatically trigger keystrokes, including modifier combinations like Cmd+V. This allows you to automate repetitive typing tasks and trigger complex actions.

Global event monitoring for macOS system events in Rust works by capturing keyboard inputs system-wide using CGEventTap. This Core Graphics mechanism intercepts events before they reach their target application, requiring explicit Accessibility permissions to function.

Yes, you need Accessibility permissions to tap keyboard events on macOS. Using CGEventTap for global event monitoring requires explicit Accessibility permissions to securely capture system-wide inputs and control UI interactions.

Yes, you can retrieve connected display bounds and main status using Core Graphics in Rust. The framework provides bindings to query display management information, returning the geometric bounds and identifying the main display.

Limitations of using Core Foundation bindings for macOS UI automation include strict dependency on Accessibility permissions for event tapping and low-level scope, meaning you handle raw Core Graphics events directly without higher-level UI abstractions.
