x11-utils, xdotools and conky-click

carbon
x11-utils and xdotools are installed.

My question is whether it is possible to simulate a left mouse click in the terminal.
Which command would accomplish/record this task?

The background to my question is @loutch's concern that the click behavior in conky no longer functions.
Test:

xdotool getmouselocation
x:1382 y:291 screen:0 window:4209106
xwininfo -name '"..conky_name.."' | grep 'Absolute'
xwininfo: error: No window with name ""..conky_name.."" exists!

Re: x11-utils, xdotools and conky-click

Here is a short script for left-clicking on a YAD window:

Re: x11-utils, xdotools and conky-click

Thank you very much, @marens.
That works here in principle.

I achieved this result with xwininfo on a test Conky using the click function. So everything is fine on the x11-utils and xdotools side. The conky window ‘clicky’ gets an id.

xwininfo

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
          would like information by clicking the
          mouse in that window.

xwininfo: Window id: 0x4a00002 "clicky"

  Absolute upper-left X:  1305
  Absolute upper-left Y:  670
  Relative upper-left X:  0
  Relative upper-left Y:  0

  Depth: 32

  Corners:  +1305+670  -5+670  -5-0  +1305-0

That's all I wanted to know for now. More later...
