The "move" command doesn't work anymore (macOS Monterey 12.6.3)
First I got this warning in Terminal: WARNING: Accessibility privileges not enabled. Many actions may fail. Enable the checkbox for the containing app in: System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Accessibility
Then, after enabling the checkbox for the containing app (Terminal and Script Editor), I ran "cliclick m:0,0" (got no warning this time, but the mouse pointer still didn't move). The "click" command works though...
Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to fix this problem I have with cliclick? Thank you!
Looks like it works if you move the cursor at least twice:
cliclick m:0,0 m:100,100
Hi, and thanks! Tried it and it works (on my OpenCore Ventura 13.3.1 Retina Mid 2012 MacBook Pro). Good job!

is was ChatGPT who gave me the idea while debugging
As I haven’t been able to reproduce this behavior (neither #169 on a different Mac running macOS 13), I don’t see how I could provide a fix.
ChatGPT suggests that the terminal application itself may not be authorized to use "accessibility". For example, if you connect through a terminal or sshd, you need to allow the terminal or sshd to use "accessibility". This method works well on my PC.
@shuiwujiao: the author of the issue mentioned he did grant the accessibility privileges.
Maybe this issue is related only to Macs running an officially unsupported MacOS... Good thing I have this workaround (to input the values twice).
I just now tried cliclick myself for the first time and experienced this issue. @joelc0193's comment worked for me also.
@BlueM for what it's worth, I only experience this bug using iTerm. It doesn't reproduce using Terminal.
