Is it possible to listen for mouse clicks?

Is it possible to run command when the mouse buttons are clicked? e.g. button1 : <command>

I was thinking exactly the same thing. My use case would be to have mod + button 4/5 to focus prev/next space. Handy.

+1 for this!

Current implementation of skhd doesn't seem to listen for mouse clicks. While it is possible to do so, I think this project is no longer maintained to implement new features.

I am working on it on my fork. I have already implemented

  • listening to mouse down events
  • parsing mouse buttons in config file
  • '-o' / '--observe' flag also listens to mouse down events to check your mouse button number

I haven't implement synthesizing mouse clicks yet. Once everything is ready, I will make a pull request. Hope @koekeishiya will take a look and give some comments.
