xy

#!/bin/sh

# Script to easily find xy values for moving the mouse
# This is a helper script for the "automate" script

# Usage: xy <list of titles>

# E.g. you are on youtube and want to move the mouse to a video thumbnail
# (maybe clicking it), then to the youtube logo
# You would do:
# xy "video thumbnail" "youtube logo"
# These titles are a thing so that it's much easier to keep track of which positions are which
# if you only need one coordinate, you can do "xy e" or something

# Move your mouse to the corresponding position (the video thumbnail in the
# previous example), and then press Enter in the terminal
# (obviously don't move your mouse to get to the terminal, or you will change the position)
