Cliclick For Mac

Cliclick is a tiny Terminal / shell application that emulates mouseclick or series of mouseclicks (including doubleclicks or Control-clicks) at arbitrary screeen coordinates.

Hence, Cliclick is an easy to use tool for scripting / automating things that cannot otherwise be scripted.

The most simple usage scenario would be to emulate a single click. In this case, you pass two integers as arguments to cliclick, the first of which is used as x (horizontal axis) location and the second as y (vertical axis) location—with the upper left corner of the screen representing the 0/0 point.

If you need a series of click, you can pass several (whitespace-separated) pairs of x / y coordinates to cliclick. In that case, it can be useful to let your Mac pause some milliseconds between events, which can be accomplished by using option -w.

To get a doubleclick, prefix the x coordinate with a “d”, to emulate a Control-click (usually to open the contextual menu), use “c” as prefix.

· cliclick 26 11 will click the screen coordinate 26 / 11; this will have the same effect as clicking the apple menu with the mouse · cliclick -w 50 26 11 26 33 will first click screen coordinate 26 / 11, wait 50 milliseconds and then click 26 / 33 (which will cause the “About this Mac” panel to be opened). · cliclick 50 60 c70 80 will click at 50 / 60, then Control-click at 70 / 80 · cliclick d50 60 will doubleclick at 50 / 60 · Invoking cliclick with the -h switch (i.e.: cliclick -h) will display the help.

WARNING: Use the Cliclick software at your own risk. If for some obscure reason any damage or data loss should arise from using it, it's nobody elses problem than yours.
