Allow user to stop sending mouse clicks after the mouse is moved #71

Description

Motivation and Context

I was fed up with accidentally clicking random things when I forgot that the autoclicker was enabled. Therefore, I have added a switch that allows the user to disable autoclicking as soon as the mouse is moved.

How Has This Been Tested?

macOS 13.4.1 XCode 14.3.1

Really cool addition! Thanks for the PR. I'll review when I next get chance to and fire off a beta build (pending #69 not flaring up again).

I may move the option to be within the settings of the application than on the main UI, but that's the only change I can see during a cursory glance at the code.

Thanks!

I believe that an additional mode could be beneficial, one that permits mouse movement within a specific radius. My Magic Mouse appears to be quite sensitive, and occasionally, simply typing on a different keyboard on the same desk can trigger a slight movement in the operating system. Allowing a few pixels of movement might enhance the usefulness of the feature.

I've added that :)

@dabroz can you consider auto-start after some mouse idle? This way app will stop working when someone is using computer and start to work again when not.

Any updates on this PR @othyn?

othyn commented 2 months ago

@Farhaduneci sorry, nothing as of yet, I've not had time recently to work on the project. Hopefully I can get to it soon!

Thank you, othyn, for the update. I understand that things can get busy.
