Clicker for Linux

Clicker is a utility software designed for Linux systems that can simulate mouse clicks and keyboard presses repeatedly.

It works on both Wayland and X11 display servers by creating a remote desktop session, allowing it to send input commands as if a user was physically interacting with the computer.

This makes Clicker a useful tool for tasks that require repeated input, such as automation in video games or other repetitive actions.

When using Clicker, users need to give permission each time they start an automated input session to ensure safety and control over the software's actions.

This permission step helps prevent unwanted or accidental automation.

One limitation of Clicker is that it currently does not support global shortcuts, which means users cannot stop the automation once it has started until the set duration ends.

This can be inconvenient if you need to interrupt the process quickly.

This limitation exists because the Global Shortcuts portal is not yet fully supported across all Linux distributions.

Clicker depends on future updates to the xdg-desktop-portal backends that will include global shortcut support.

Once those updates are widely available, users will have more control to start and stop automation smoothly.

Overall, Clicker offers an automated way to simulate repeated mouse and keyboard inputs safely on Linux systems, supporting both major display platforms.

It is ideal for users who want to automate simple repetitive tasks but are aware of the current permission requirement and stopping limitations.
