Notes
- By default, coordinates are relative to the frontmost dialog or window. Changing to a different screen size or having the window come up in a different location should have no effect.
- Use screenCoordinates(...) to treat coordinates as an absolute screen position.
- In most applications, the location is relative to the inside of the window. Negative y values reach into the title bar (if any).
- This verb may click too quickly for an application to notice. Use setMouseDelay(...) to set a short delay.
- To rapidly click a list of locations or items in sequence, use clickSequence.
- The holding label may be left off, though the result may be less readable.
- As an alternative to doubleClick and nClick, this verb has an optional labelled parameter, times.
