Move and click the mouse via code
Authored by: Dr. T on May 14, '08 11:14:18AM

First, I wish to echo sweyhrich's comment about using Click within Applescripts.

I also cannot figure out how to make Click work via a Terminal command. I type command-shift-N to open a command line window, type 'click -x 90 -y 30', click the Run button, and get no detectable mouse click. Instead, a new Terminal bash window appears in the middle of my screen. Could this be due to owning a PowerPC Mac and running robg's binary (that may have been for Intel Macs)?

This won't work unless you check "run command inside of shell" or actually run it from the command line. I don't know why. But other than that issue it works splendidly for me.

Yes, robg's binary is not Universal, it's intel only.
