In VirtualBox (a virtual machine software), you can navigate around the virtual machine with mouse capture. This means you click on the window, and your cursor freezes and a new cursor appears inside your [virtual] machine. You navigate this new mouse with your trackpad/mouse just like normal, but Sikuli doesn't do that. Every time it moves/clicks, it does so with the real mouse, not the virtual one, even though if these same actions were done by hand they would capture the mouse/enter the virtual machine. Why is this, and how can I make it so that Sikuli moves the virtual mouse? And no, I can't install Sikuli inside the virtual machine as it's Android (Sikuli's unsupported on mobile).
