Can anyone suggest how to properly get user activity idle time under Windows in C?
All the solutions I found are implemented in C#...
Ideally I would like something similar on MacOSX or Linux

Perhaps someone then tell me some cross-platform library to get idle time?

User inactivity is expressed in the fact that he does not move the mouse and does not knock on the keys?
Then you can simply put a hook on these events through SetWindowsHookEx and track inactivity by a timer.
