I understood , thanks for the admiration, i am rather awesome to be fair 😎

His message simply said he could mouse-move but wanted to mouse-click with
gambas. I didn't have to time for assumptions.

He replied privately to thank me for the xlib suggestion and said he would
give it a go.
I replied that the xdotool that Fabien pointed out from the discussion page
could be a far simpler solution but adding libraries and their functions in
gambas is worth figuring out as it can take your code to a whole new level.

I could only guess as to what he has done or what his intent was....  🤔

But suffice to say he did respond just not to the group. So hopefully he
figured it out.
if not I'm sure he'll be back to further the discussion :)

Well wishes all
