The icon is shown above - it's the leftmost one in the task tray, and this is all you see. Double-clicking the icon empties the coffee pot (that's what the icon is) and temporarily disables the program. Double-clicking it again refills the pot and will keep your machine awake.
By default, the app starts enabled and works every 59 seconds. There are some command-line switches you can use to alter this behavior:
- xx - where xx is a number which sets the number of seconds between simulated keypresses. This must be the first text on the command-line
- -startoff - application starts disabled.
- -exitafter:xx - the application will terminate after xx minutes
- -activefor:xx - the application will become inactive after xx minutes
- -inactivefor:xx - the application will become active after xx minutes
- -appexit - terminates current running instance of the application
- -appon - makes the currently running instance of the application active
- -appoff - makes the currently running instance of the application inactive
- -apptoggle - toggles the running state of the currently running instance of the application
- -apptoggleshowdlg - toggles the running state, and shows a dialog
- -replace - closes the currently running instance, replacing it
- -noicon - does not show a task tray icon
- -useshift - simulate the shift key instead of F15
- -showdlg - shows a dialog indicating whether caffeine is active
- -ontaskbar - show a taskbar button (use with -showdlg)
- -allowss - prevent sleep, but allow the screensaver to start
- -key:xx - simulate using virtual key code xx
- Note: the codes on the linked page are in Hex, convert them to decimal for use with this parameter
- -keypress - simulate a full keypress, not just a key up event
- -oldicons - use more colorful tray icons
- -darkicons - use icons which work better for dark-on-light color schemes
However, Caffeine might interfere with some apps:
- PowerPoint uses the F15 keypress to pause a video in a slide
- Google Docs/Sheets
- Terminal emulation, e.g. Putty
What's new in this version:
- Added -lighticons and -darkicons to force one of those
