XClicker is a free and open-source tool to automate mouse clicks (autoclicker) for Linux desktops using the x11 windowing system [3]. It is written in the programming language C and uses functions from xlib and xtest to emulate mouse clicks [4]. For the user interface, XClicker uses the widget toolkit GTK for it's graphical user interface and the active GTK theme is used to set the look.
History[edit]
XClicker development was initiated on October 2, 2021 by Elliot Lindberg after his realization that there were no autoclickers available for Linux that had the same features as those available for Windows. The goal of the project was to create a user-friendly autoclicker that Linux users could easily use to automate repetitive tasks. Despite the short development time, Lindberg was able to release XClicker's first version, v1.0.0, on October 12, only 10 days after he started working on the project [5]. The initial release of XClicker had all the core features necessary for it to be used as an autoclicker. These features included the ability to automate mouse clicks, specify the click interval, enable a safe mode to prevent the autoclicker from clicking too quickly, and either repeat clicking until stopped or only click for a specified number of times. Additionally, XClicker allowed users to specify a specific location for the clicks to be performed, making it a versatile tool for automating a wide range of tasks [6]. Over the following months, Lindberg continued to work on the project, adding new features and improving the software's usability. By June 2022, XClicker had become a popular choice among Linux users.
Use Cases[edit]
An autoclicker on Linux can be useful in a variety of situations. For example, a person who is performing a task that involves a lot of repetitive clicking, such as clicking on a series of buttons on a website, can use an autoclicker to automate the process and save time and effort [7]. An autoclicker can also be useful for performing tasks that require a high level of precision and consistency, such as clicking on a specific location on the screen with a precise interval between clicks. Additionally, an autoclicker can be useful for testing purposes, such as simulating a user clicking on a user interface to test its functionality and responsiveness. Overall, an autoclicker can be a valuable tool for anyone who needs to automate repetitive tasks on a Linux system [8]
