Comparison with cliclick?

[grigorye]

Hi there, thanks for your tool, recently I started using it in my project. I was also looking for a tool to automate mouse clicks (without realizing that sendkeys can do that as well - was misinterpreting the project name), and found cliclick (https://github.com/BlueM/cliclick), that in turn seems to support automating key presses as well (I was also misinterperting its name).

Hence, I'm torn between the two projects/leaning towards using just one, and would appreciate any comparison between sendkeys and cliclick...

I can't comment on cliclick as I haven't used it. I'll defer to someone else who has experience in both to provide the comparison.

This project was originally created for my own personal requirements around capturing screen recordings with pre-scripted keystrokes and mouse movements. Because of this I prioritized the authoring experience so that a plain text input file should generally be typed verbatim with the ability to use markup (that was unlikely to collide with common markup languages) for additional key combinations, mouse commands, and pauses.
