I'm trying to change an iKey function to a script.

(*
ClickZoomBox - 4/3/10
*)
tell application "System Events"
Move cursor to 57,12 (T/L)
click -- click left mouse button
end tell

Moving the mouse and clicking can be achieved using cliclick -> http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/cliclick/

ex.

do shell script "cliclick 51 17"

If you only want to move the mouse and not perform a click then you can use CGWarpMouseCursorPosition().

Here is an example using MacRuby but you could easily turn this into a command line utility.

set x to 57

set y to 12

do shell script "/usr/local/bin/macruby -e \"framework 'carbon'\" -e \"framework 'ApplicationServices'\" -e \"CGWarpMouseCursorPosition(CGPointMake(" & x & "," & y & "))\""

Regards,

Craig
