I’ve made a small command line tool called linux-mouse-record, which records and replays mouse clicks on Linux (and probably most OSs). I found a number of too-complicated-for-me-to-use-now GUI tools for this, and a few command line tools that didn’t work, some that didn’t support linux, and a lot without any real documentation. So I guess I’m adding my tool to the mix.
It is hosted on PyPI and you install it with pipx
pipx install linux-mouse-recordYou use it like this:
linux-mouse-record > events.jsonl
linux-mouse-replay < events.jsonl
The main value is really getting screen coordinates. It’s one of command-line tools for GUI automation.
