Fixed position controls the target; current cursor preserves flexibility.
Use fixed position when one large target remains still. Use current-cursor mode when you deliberately reposition between short runs. Neither mode understands interface state.
| Mode | Good fit | Primary risk | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed position | One stationary target | Window or layout moves under the coordinate | Re-capture after every layout change |
| Current cursor | Short runs at locations you choose manually | Pointer movement redirects the clicks | Stop before moving the pointer |
Fixed position makes one assumption explicit
A fixed-position clicker assumes that the correct target will remain under one screen coordinate. This is easy to test and supervise when the window, zoom, display scale, and target state are stable.
The danger appears when the interface changes but the coordinate does not. A modal, purchase button, navigation panel, or another window can move into the click path while the clicker continues doing exactly what it was told.
Current cursor moves responsibility to the pointer
Current-cursor mode repeats wherever the pointer happens to be. It can support several short manual placements without recording coordinates, but a bumped mouse, trackpad gesture, or focus change redirects the loop immediately.
Use short sessions and stop before repositioning. If the workflow requires the pointer for other work while clicking continues, current-cursor mode is a poor fit.
Use the same recovery design for both
Keep the stop key reachable without touching the target area, begin with a finite count, and keep sensitive controls outside the active window. Verify the first clicks visually.
Neither position mode creates permission to automate an online service. Technical precision and service rules remain separate decisions.
