import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

Robot robot;

void setup() {
  size(400, 400);

  //Let's get a Robot...
  try { 
    robot = new Robot();
  } catch (AWTException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    exit();
  }
}

void draw() {}

void mousePressed() {
  //Press the space key
  robot.keyPress(DOWN);
  robot.keyRelease(DOWN);
}

void keyPressed() {
  //Detect space key presses (to show that it works)
  if(key == DOWN) {
    println("Down!");
  }

}
