'behave + mouse-click' not working as expected #163

Open tstack77 opened 7 years ago

tstack77 commented 7 years ago

xdotool version 3.20170221.1

I'm trying to detect a mouse-click in a certain window then run a script.

When running either mouse-enter/leave the script does work xdotool search --name "XYZ" behave %@ mouse-enter exec 'myscript'

But mouse-click doesn't xdotool search --name "XYZ" behave %@ mouse-click exec 'myscript'

Issue is the same in v3.20160805.1

Is this a known issue or is there a different method to use mouse-click? I'd really like to get this working if possible.

Thanks

I think this may be a bug but am not sure. I may not have time to investigate for a while :/

From what I remember trying to use the X11 APIs to capture mouse clicks, it doesn't work very well. There maybe some hacks we have to do to make it work .

Just curious if this was ever worked on or fixed because I'm having a similar problem with mouse-click and behave

You did this work in another way? like you I just want to exec something when mouse click. I try i3 feature to do this but not work too.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue in Ubuntu 20.04 xdotool version 3.20160805.1

I am hit by the same issue on gentoo running fvwm.

The following doesn't work at all, I just get no output whatever I try with the mouse: xdotool getactivewindow behave %@ mouse-click getmouselocation --shell

With the following: xdotool getactivewindow behave %@ mouse-enter getmouselocation --shell I get no output when I leave the active window and make another window to be active, and output when entreering back the first active window (focus follow mouse), which is exepected. But, each time I click into that active window, I get: an output like:

X=571
Y=332
SCREEN=0
WINDOW=12591494

which is not expected.

My conclusion is than mouse-click do nothing, and than mouse-enter behave like mouse-click and mouse-enter.

Using Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) on Raspberry Pi 4.

xdotool getactivewindowid xdotool behave <window_id> mouse-click getmouselocation Output: No output This does not return anything on mouse click on the respective window

xdotool getactivewindowid xdotool behave <window_id> mouse-enter getmouselocation Output: x:1178 y:656 screen:0 window:16788867 But this is giving me the mouse location when mouse enters the window perimeter.

Unfortunately, I have exactly the same problem like all the above folks.
