EXEC-ON-CLICK(1)

💖 EXEC-ON-CLICK(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is exec-on-click from section 1 of the manual (the header up top literally just reads ex...k(1) because the terminal truncates it like that, don't worry about it 🫶). it's a whole little vibe and i need you to be seated for this one ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

exec-on-click — a simple tool that executes a command when a left mouse-click is detected 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

exec-on-click <command>

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like... exec-on-click is a simple tool. that's the whole thing. it sits there, patiently, waiting for a left mouse click 👆 and the second that click lands, it executes whatever parameters the script was called with. that's it. that's the girl. no cap 🌈

it's giving "tiny tool, enormous main character energy" and honestly? obsessed.

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

echo -n "hello world" |  exec-on-click xdotool type --clearmodifiers '$(cat)'

what this does: it types hello world straight into the current window, using xdotool — which is a program that lets you simulate keyboard input and mouse activity 🎀 so basically you click, and boom, the text appears. iconic behaviour fr fr 💜
