For those of you who came for right-clicking in the terminal, I adapted the command so that it doesn't click the first entry in the menu: cliclick kd:ctrl c:+0,+0 ku:ctrl will just Control-click.

BTW That edit, made more then an hour after I answered the original question as originally written, changes the overall scope of the question where my original answer covered what you didn't know to what I'd consider to be a totally different question after the fact. So lets separate the issue with a new and separate question. | |

@rubik's sphere, Also note you may need to use the w:ms commands appropriately within the cliclick command line as necessary.

@rubik's sphere, I believe my answer as written addresses the real question asked, that being how to right-click with cliclick and this is not the place to debug what you're trying to do with it. I'd suggest starting another question while providing all info necessary to replicate any issue(s) you're having. That said, your cliclick command, as written, is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing, even if the results are not right. Why are you even doing a right-click at the point you are as all it does is bring a the context menu. You need to do something else afterwards too.

Thank you for the detailed answer. I almost have the perfect script. I am using this script to highlight text and then right-click the text. Is there a way for the text to remain highlighted/selected after the right-click (just like it would normally)? This is my full code: do shell script "/usr/local/bin/cliclick dc:+0,+0 kd:ctrl c:+0,+0". My code un-selects the selected text when it right-clicks.
