mouse() does not chain with itself

[umnikos]

While mouse(left, 10) and mouse(up, 10) both work, it's currently impossible to have a keyboard key that sends the mouse up and to the left. mouse(left, 10).mouse(up, 10) only moves the mouse left.

As there are only 4 such combined directions, an alternate way to have the same functionality would be to have mouse() accept 4 additional direction strings: up_left, up_right, down_left, down_right

I should have designed the mouse macro to allow something like mouse(x=10, y=5).

You can, however, do something like

hold(
  event(EV_REL, REL_X, 1)
  .event(EV_REL, REL_Y, 2)
  .wait(10)
)

You could even make it accelerate like this:

set(speed, 0)
.hold(
  event(EV_REL, REL_X, $speed)
  .event(EV_REL, REL_Y, $speed)
  .add(speed, 1)
  .wait(20)
)

or

set(speed, 50)
.hold(
  event(EV_REL, REL_X, 1)
  .event(EV_REL, REL_Y, 2)
  .add(speed, -1)
  .wait($speed)
)

Though all of those aren't as smooth as the mouse macro.

If you install from the latest main, you can now use mouse_xy(10, 10)

Or, you can do

parallel(
    mouse(up, 10),
    mouse(left, 10)
)
