hid.mouse_button_down
Hold down a mouse button (left, right, middle) without releasing. Pair with hid.mouse_button_up and hid.move to compose a drag.
Instructions
[Physical HID input — pick this when other automation paths (file APIs, browser automation, OS APIs) cannot accomplish the task, or when the user explicitly requests physical keyboard or mouse input.] Press a mouse button WITHOUT releasing it. Pair with hid.mouse_button_up (and hid.move in between) to compose a drag, or use hid.drag for a one-call wrapper. Matches Anthropic Computer Use's left_mouse_down action.
