| Nov 4, 2021 at 21:53 | comment | added | supergra | I found that too, and found an alternative called cliclick -- github.com/BlueM/cliclick. It's super easy to use from Terminal, but I have no idea how to use it in Automator. Seems possible though: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/276047/… | |

| Jul 27, 2021 at 3:48 | comment | added | Art Geigel | This answer deserves kudos solely for the fact that it got me pointed towards "MouseTools" which was everything I needed and more. For those who install it remember to either put it somewhere where $path is already looking or update /etc/paths. | |

To supplement @jksoegaard's answer: one can also find cursor positions using "Screenshot" tool, which may be activated by Cmd+Shift+4 shortcut. Then just point the cursor to any area and remember the numbers that is shown near the pointer.

| Dec 30, 2016 at 13:41 | comment | added | Prokop Hanzl | OK, thanks for all the help, marking this as a worked-for-me. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 13:08 | comment | added | jksoegaard | @ProkopHanzl Regarding your other, non-related questions - I have no real experience with AppleScript, so you'll have to look elsewhere for answers. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 13:07 | comment | added | jksoegaard | @ProkopHanzl It is both easily done and possible yes. I said it was not easy WITHOUT MouseTools (or similar), but with MouseTools it is very easy. Without MouseTools you would have to find your own solution. | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 12:22 | comment | added | Prokop Hanzl | and one more thing - you seem smart about AppleScript - would you please check out my unanswered questions? I have a feeling you might know the answers - thanks | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 12:19 | comment | added | Prokop Hanzl | also, you said it isn't easily done, does that mean it is possible w/out MouseTools? it'd be awesome if it worked on other computers which don't have MT downloaded, else I'd have to bundle it w/ my program | |
| Dec 30, 2016 at 12:16 | comment | added | Prokop Hanzl | is it capable of long clicking? | |
