autoclick

Software cursor automation

Autoclick refers to software or a feature that automatically performs mouse clicks at set intervals or locations, typically used in gaming to avoid repetitive manual clicking or in automation tasks: I set up an autoclicker to farm resources overnight.

The verb autoclick means to use such software.

Gaming communities sometimes debate whether autoclicking constitutes cheating.
