docs

Usage: ydotool <cmd> <args>
Available commands:
  click
  mousemove
  type
  key
  debug
  bakers
Use environment variable YDOTOOL_SOCKET to specify daemon socket.
 

ydotool click
Usage: click [OPTION]... [BUTTONS]...
Click mouse buttons.

Options:
  -r, --repeat=N             Repeat entire sequence N times
  -D, --next-delay=N         Delay N milliseconds between input events (up/down,                                a complete click means doubled time)
  -h, --help                 Display this help and exit

How to specify buttons:
  Now all mouse buttons are represented using hexadecimal numeric values, with an optional
bit mask to specify if mouse up/down needs to be omitted.
  0x00 - LEFT
  0x01 - RIGHT
  0x02 - MIDDLE
  0x03 - SIDE
  0x04 - EXTR
  0x05 - FORWARD
  0x06 - BACK
  0x07 - TASK
  0x40 - Mouse down
  0x80 - Mouse up
  Examples:
    0x00: chooses left button, but does nothing (you can use this to implement extra sleeps)
    0xC0: left button click (down then up)
    0x41: right button down
    0x82: middle button up
  The '0x' prefix can be omitted if you want.
