Opening Another Application in R Then Hangs
This list is not the recommended location for support of that Windows
only package. The URL in the DESCRIPTION file has this to advise:
++++++++++++++++++
This package doesn't work on my computer! How can I make it work?
Open aGitHub <https://github.com/ChiHangChen/KeyboardSimulator>issue and
let us know what version of Windows you are using and what keyboard and
mouse hardware you have connected.

Hi Jeff,
Greatly appreciate your reply, but I don't quite understand it.
Perhaps I should give a little more detail.
For this example, I want to open notepad, then go to notepad and type something in. So the program
library(KeyboardSimulator)
setwd("C:/Users/JSparks/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Accessories")
system2("Notepad",invisible=FALSE)
mouse.move(2423,236)
mouse.click()
keybd.type_string("Hello world!")
would do this, but it does not advance passed the system2 command.
Best wishes,

Hi R Helpers,
I am trying to open another application from within R and then work
with it.
I can get the application to open, but R then hangs at that point
(spinning blue circle in the middle of the screen) and my subsequent
programming does not execute.
Does anybody know how to get R to unlock?
I am using Windows 10 and R4.0.
The example below freezes R on my machine.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks.
