Click Patterns
Click patterns are sequences of mouse clicks and keyboard actions that Pixel Triggers executes automatically. This guide covers everything you need to know about creating and managing patterns.
Creating Patterns
- 1. Start Polling
Click the "Poll Position" button. Your mouse coordinates will update in real-time as you move the cursor.
- 2. Position Your Mouse
Move your mouse to the location where you want to click.
- 3. Add a Click Point
Press the A key (or your configured hotkey) to capture the current position. You can also click "Add Current Position".
- 4. Repeat
Continue adding points until your pattern is complete.
- 5. Save the Pattern
Enter a name and click "Save Pattern". Your pattern is now stored locally and will sync to the cloud.
Timing Controls
Each action in a pattern has two timing settings:
Hold Time (Down Time)
How long to hold the mouse button or key down before releasing. Default is 0.05 seconds (50ms). Increase this for actions that require holding.
Delay After
How long to wait after this action before executing the next one. Use this to add pauses between clicks, for example waiting for a UI to load.
Tip: You can set default timing values at the top of the pattern editor. These defaults will apply to all new actions you add.
Keyboard Events
Patterns can include keyboard actions as well as mouse clicks:
- 1. Click "Add Keystroke" in the pattern editor
- 2. Enter the key you want to press (e.g., "enter", "space", "tab", "a")
- 3. Choose the action type: "down" (press) or "up" (release)
- 4. Set timing as needed
Supported Keys
Letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), function keys (f1-f12), special keys (enter, space, tab, escape, backspace, delete, up, down, left, right, home, end, pageup, pagedown, ctrl, alt, shift, win)
Reordering Actions
You can reorder actions in your pattern using drag and drop:
- •Click and hold the grip handle (⋮⋮) on any action
- •Drag it to the desired position
- •Release to drop it in place
The order of actions determines the execution sequence when the pattern runs.
Running Patterns
To run a pattern:
- 1. Select a pattern from your saved list
- 2. Click the green "Start" button
- 3. The pattern will loop continuously
Stopping Automation
