Chris,

I see the recorder catching mouse button clicks along with window
titles. Could mouse input be used to trigger a script?

I think you might want to require that a window title be part of the
condition, or at least require some kind of override option to allow
otherwise.

It would also be helpful if you could (optionally) specify ranges for
the relative coordinates, so you could, e.g., limit the trigger to
clicks within the client area.

And if this could be combined with modifier keys, it could provide a
lot of room for customization. For example, a <button_3> in Gedit
would just be ignored by AutoKey and work normally, but a <ctrl>
+<button_3> would run an AutoKey script that brings up your own
editing menu.
