Create a delay between mouse clicks using Autokey

Question

I am about to switch from Windows to Ubuntu. Since my mouse keeps doing multiple clicks each time I press the middle mouse button, I used AutoHotkey under Windows to add a delay after each click. This worked fine. Now under Ubuntu I want to use AutoKey to do the same. Autokey uses Python for its scripts though.

Here is the AutoHotkey script:

MButton::
   If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 200)
      Return
   Send {MButton}
Return

You should consider replacing your mouse, since it can damage the hardware, prevent the system from booting, or trigger unwanted actions. — AcK, Aug 09 '18 at 15:00
@WhiteHotLoveTiger There are quite some example scripts for Autokey in its Wiki: https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki Nothing similar to what I want to to though. — Emberwit, Aug 10 '18 at 19:23

Currently, (as of version 0.95.4), this is not possible from within AutoKey, because it can’t handle mouse buttons as hotkeys. This stackoverflow question may be of help: Triggering AutoKey Script via Mouse Button - How To?
