The color value is printed as three decimal 8-bit values, Using “.” isĮquivalent to using relative zero values “c:+0,+0”.Ĭp:str Will PRINT THE COLOR value at the given screen location. Instead of x and y values, you mayĪlso use “.”, which means: the current position. (If you need to specify absolute negative values in case you have a setup with a second display arranged to the left of your main display, prefix the number with “=”, for instance “c:100,=-200”.)Ĭ:x,y Will CLICK at the point with the given coordinates.Įxample: “c:12,34” will click at the point with x coordinateġ2 and y coordinate 34. Of course, relative and absolute values can be mixed, and negative values are possible, so “c:100,-20” would be perfectly valid. For example, “m:+50,+0” will move the mouse 50 pixels to the right. Whenever a command expects a pair of coordinates, you may provide relative values by prefixing the number with “+” or “-”. See below for a list of all commands and the arguments they expect. Example: “c:123,456” is the command for clicking (the “c” is the command identifier for clicking) at the position with x coordinate 123 and y coordinate 456. A command consists of a command identifier (a string that tells cliclick what kind of action to perform) and usually one or more arguments to the command, which are separated from the command identifier with a colon. To use cliclick, you pass an arbitrary number of commands as arguments. V Show cliclick version number and release date The default (and minimum) value for -w is 20. “cliclick -w 200 wait:500” will wait for 700 milliseconds. If you find that you use the “wait” command too often, w Wait the given number of milliseconds after each event. Additionally, lines starting with the hashĬharacter # are regarded as comments, i.e.: ignored. In the same format/syntax as commands given as argumentsĪt the shell.
