These two (as well as xdotool) are for creating scripts/command-line 
tools/key bindings for X11 automation. I'd use xte (from xautomation) or 
xdotool if I were, say, creating Openbox key bindings for mouse 
emulation. Clickity is for people who want to use the mouse buttons (or 
in the case of dwell mode, don't) or an external switch (will be 
supported in future versions.

(actually xvkbd)
This is for simulating keyboard input via mouse input, and can be used 
in conjunction with Clickity (e.g. for dwell-based clicking).

This one, of course, also provides window manager control as well as X11 
auotmation. Great for use in scripts.

Those are all about keyboard automation, which Clickity doesn't concern 
itself with.


Reminds me that I ought to revise OBHotkey to make it easier to nest 
commands within keychains so that, say, W-s when first pressed calls 
"xdotool mousedown 1" and when pressed again calls "xdotool mouseup 1 
mousedown 2 mouseup 2" for keyboard cut-and-paste in terminals or the like.
