Mouse Position

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug but AK isn't moving the mouse when 
clicking. I don't see a way to move it in the API either. Some applications 
require a mouse hover before clicking. Is this possible?

Ubuntu 11.10 x64
AK GTK 0.71.2

Thx

I'm hitting the same issue, and have solved it by using the xte command from 
the xautomation package:

    system.exec_command("xte 'mousemove 400 240'", False)
    system.exec_command("xte 'mouseclick 1'", False)

Bonus: this is an AutoKey to easily figure out what the mouse's current x/y 
position is:

    # Uses xmousepos from the xautomation package
    position = system.exec_command("xmousepos", True).split(" ")
    dialog.info_dialog("Current mouse position", "%s\n\nx: %s\ny: %s\nrel x: %s\nrel y: %s\n" % (" ".join(position), position[0], position[1], position[2], position[3]))

regarding Cdrink's comment: From the project home page:
Project Status
AutoKey has now reached v0.90 and is (from the point of view of the developer) 
feature complete. It is built using current toolkits (GTK3 and QT4) so should 
be reasonably future-proof. We are actively looking for maintainers to assist 
with fixing minor bugs. At this stage no new feature work is planned, but 
patches may be considered.

(i.e. AutoKey is not actively developed, but if you submit a patch to fix this 
it should get included at some point)
