User guide & practice

Use on webpage buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons and links. Place the point at the center of the control.

Try this

Action: Left click. Interval to next point: 1000 ms. Run one pass.

Expected

The page counter increases by 1. Running again adds another click to this counter.

A synthetic click does not necessarily open a native calendar or select popup. Use Open picker for those controls.

Use on an element with a webpage context-menu handler. This example displays its own menu, without navigating away.

Try this

Place a point on the purple target and choose Right click.

Expected

The page's context menu opens and the event counter increases.

Page events can trigger a site's menu, but do not open Chrome's own context menu. Browser menus are outside the page.

Use when a webpage listens for a double-click, such as an edit or copy action.

Try this

Put a point on Copy text. Choose Double click, then Run once.

Expected

The source text appears in the result field. A Left click alone does not copy it.

Page mode sends two clicks with increasing detail and a dblclick event. It is not an OS-level double-click.

Use on controls that explicitly handle three consecutive clicks. There is no standard DOM triple-click event; sites can check click detail.

Try this

Choose Triple click on the green target.

Expected

The target receives a click with detail = 3, updating the result.

Text selection depends on the website and input mode. This example verifies the event sequence, not paragraph selection.

Repeat left clicks at the same point. This does not hold the mouse button down.

By count

Set duration to 2000 ms and count to 5. With Run n× = 1, expect 5 clicks; 2 passes produce 10.

By interval

Set duration to 2000 ms and interval to 500 ms. Timing controls the result; it is not an exact-count mode.

A duration-based run may stop partway through this action. For exact counts, use By count with Run n×. Very slow webpages can extend a count-based pass.

Move around a point without clicking or holding a button. Use for hover and mouse-move handlers.

Try this

Place a point in the center of the grid. Choose Move in range, duration 2000 ms, range 40 px.

Expected

The crosshair follows mousemove coordinates inside the grid. Clicks remain 0.

This is not drag-and-drop or slider dragging. Page-mode movement is a virtual cursor and does not guarantee CSS :hover behavior.

Use on an editable input, textarea or contenteditable element. Place the point inside the text area, not on its label or border.

Try this

Text to insert: Hello. Typing speed: 80 ms per character. Time to next point: 1000 ms.

Expected

Hello is appended to the current content and input/change events update the preview. Reset before repeating if you want an empty field.

Read-only, disabled and non-editable targets fail precheck. Use Set date or Choose dropdown option for typed values in those controls.

Open a calendar or dropdown without entering text or selecting a value. This is the renamed Select Option action.

Native date / dropdown

Choose Browser input and place the point inside either native control. Run once: its picker should open without changing the value.

Webpage calendar

Use Page events on the jQuery UI fields in the Set date example below; focusing the field opens the webpage calendar.

Native popups are not webpage DOM. Do not place a second page point inside a native popup; choose a value with Set date or Choose dropdown option instead. Chrome may restrict picker opening.

Select an item directly, without opening the popup. Supports native single-select and multi-select lists.

One option

Place the point on Country. Match by Text: Canada; Value: ca; or Position: 2. Positions start at 1.

Multiple options

Place the point inside Colors. Match by Text, with Blue and Green on separate lines. The old selection is replaced.

Use the webpage's actual value, not a guessed abbreviation: Germany uses de in this example. If unsure, match the full option text. Matching is case-sensitive. Missing, disabled or ambiguous options fail validation. For custom menus, use Open picker then Left click on an item.

Set a date directly. The extension uses native date values or the supported widget API instead of typing blindly into a text field.

Try this

Choose Set date, select October 15, 2026 in the extension, and place the point on any date field here.

Expected

US format: 10/15/2026. Day-first format: 15/10/2026. Native value: 2026-10-15; its visual format follows your browser locale.

The day-first field is read-only but uses a supported jQuery UI widget. A generic read-only input is not supported. All demo dates are limited to 2026. Native min/max/step and supported widget restrictions are checked.
