Mouse Actions

Actions in the Mouse group of the actions menu.

Click / Double click / Right click

Locates an element and clicks it. Shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+X (Click), Ctrl+Shift+D (Double click), Ctrl+Shift+R (Right click).

📸 Screenshot needed — /img/editor/actions/mouse/click.png

Capture: the Click form with a search object set and Advanced options expanded so Offset X/Y, Wait after and Key modifiers are visible. Why it must be retaken: the offsets and modifiers moved into Additional options and the state field is now Run Action.

ParameterDescription
Search objectElement to click.
Required successStop the scenario if the click fails.
Offset X / Offset YPixel offset from the element's centre before clicking. Default 0. (Advanced options)
Wait afterPause after the click. (Advanced options)
Key modifiersModifier keys held down during the click — Ctrl, Alt, Shift. (Advanced options)

Right click has no Key modifiers parameter.

Move

Moves the cursor without clicking. Useful for triggering hover states and tooltips.

Capture: the Move form. (The action was renamed from "Move mouse" to Move.)

ParameterDescription

Drag & Drop

Presses the mouse button on one element, moves to another, and releases — the way to reorder list items, move files between panes, or draw a selection.

📸 Screenshot needed — /img/editor/actions/mouse/drag_drop.png

Capture: the Drag & Drop form showing both the source and the destination search object, plus a live view of the two elements involved. Why it is new: Drag & Drop did not exist in 0.14.2 and has no screenshot.

ParameterDescription
Search objectSource and destination elements of the drag.
Required successStop the scenario if the drag fails.
Wait afterPause after the drop. (Advanced options)

Scroll

Scrolls a fixed number of wheel clicks.

📸 Screenshot needed — /img/editor/actions/mouse/scroll.png

Capture: the Scroll form with the Direction dropdown open.

ParameterDescription
Search objectElement to scroll over. Optional.
DirectionUP or DOWN. Default DOWN.
ClicksNumber of scroll-wheel clicks. Default 1.
Required successStop the scenario if scrolling fails.
Wait afterPause after scrolling. (Advanced options)

Scroll Until

Scrolls repeatedly until the target element appears — the right choice for long lists and tables where you do not know how far down the item is.

📸 Screenshot needed — /img/editor/actions/mouse/scroll_until.png

Capture: the Scroll Until form with the Operation dropdown open.

ParameterDescription
Search objectElement to look for; scrolling stops once it is found.
OperationScroll method and direction. Default MOUSE_DOWN.
Clicks (mouse-only)Wheel clicks per scroll step. Default 4.
Wait between scrollsDelay between consecutive scroll steps. Default 0.
Max scrollsMaximum number of scroll steps before the action fails. Default 20.
Required successStop the scenario if the element never appears.
tip

Raise Max scrolls rather than Clicks for very long lists — large jumps can scroll straight past the target, and the robot only looks at the screen between steps.
