Left-click multiplier (or: ‘avoid carpal tunnel syndrome’)

Written by marcelpetrick on January 13, 2015

A small helper-script to prevent fatigue. The task itself could not be automated, but the amount of emitted clicks could be.
So here is a small AutoIt to trigger the needed clicks at the current mouse-position.
Some “exit the script”-sugar could be added, but I did not do.

HotKeySet("+c", "captureB")

; brief: if caps+c is pressed, then emit 18 LMB-clicks at the current position
Func captureB()
    ; for tracking
	ConsoleWrite("captureB called" & @CRLF)

	; send ten left clicks
	For $i = 0 To 17 Step 1 ;18 is half the max amount
		MouseClick("left")
		ConsoleWrite($i & @CRLF)
		Sleep(10)
	Next

EndFunc

; body
 While 1
	 Sleep(200)
WEnd
