lazyclicker.rs

a lazy autoclicker for unix systems that support multiple profiles and holding!!
this is the second version of the autoclicker i made a while ago: herehere

expectations

i have only tested on arch linux, no idea about other os, but they should work!!
also i tested global keybinds on hyprland, so it varies for your wm / compositor too!!!

features

• multiple profiles (each with custom configuration and mode)
• working as a background process
• global keybinds (yippee)
• two modes: holding and clicking

setting up!

1. Head to Releases and grab the latest Release!
2. Move the binary file (lazyclicker) to somewhere within your PATH
3. Run lazyclicker init for the first time and it will create a sample configuration file (often at ~/.config/lazyclicker)

configurations

as this uses toml as the configuration language, so it's super easy to configure!!

Example profiles.toml:

[[profile]]
name = "clicktest"
interval = 1000
button = "Left"
repeat = 1
mode = "Click"

[[profile]]
name = "holdtest"
button = "Left"
mode = "Hold"

• name: the name of the profile
• mode: clicking mode (can be either Click or Hold)
• button: mouse button to click (can be either Left or Right)
• interval: time between clicks (in milliseconds)
• repeat: numbers of repeat each click

Note

it only accepts the uppercased Left, Right, Click, and Hold

Note

interval and repeat is optional for Hold mode, and compulsory for Click mode

commands

1. lazyclicker init: Initialize the sample configuration file and path
2. lazyclicker list: List all available profiles
3. lazyclicker start [PROFILE_NAME]: Start / Run a profile
4. lazyclicker stop [PROFILE_NAME]: Stop a running profile

troubleshooting

run lazyclicker start [PROFILE_NAME] --run and look for errors

Error: NotFound:

1. check if /dev/uinput exists:

ls -l /dev/uinput

-> if it's missing:

sudo modprobe uinput

-> make it permanent across reboots:

echo uinput | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf

2. fix perms

ls -l /dev/uinput

check the permissions of user, it should be something like crw-rw-rw-

if not,
add user to the right group, or create a udev rule:

sudo groupadd input
sudo usermod -aG input $USER

then create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules:

KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input"

and reload rules:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
