A command-line software that allows users to automate mouse clicks on any point of the screen through emulation.
I recently discovered BBClick, a software tool designed to enhance the performance of BBEdit users. As a BBEdit user myself, I work in a keyboard-oriented way, delegating lots of shortcut assignments to menu items and avoiding mouse usage whenever possible.
However, I have encountered two user interface elements in BBEdit that cannot be accessed through keyboard shortcuts: the marker popup and the function popup in text windows' status bars. Fortunately, BBClick resolves this issue through its three components.
Firstly, BBClick includes two very simple AppleScripts which can be conveniently assigned a keyboard shortcut for future use. Secondly, it comes equipped with an advanced command-line application named "cliclick", allowing emulated mouse clicks on any screen coordinate.
Overall, BBClick is a valuable addition to the BBEdit user's toolkit, combining the reliability of AppleScript with advanced command-line techniques to provide a comprehensive solution to the inconvenience posed by restricted keyboard accessibility.
