Issue with the --clearmodifiers seems to be fixed in v3.20160804.1 (https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/releases/tag/v3.20160804.1)
Devoting this bug report to the issue with launching xdotool by a shortcut. ** Description changed: - 'xdotool click 3' does not work. Actual left mouse button does not work - afterwards. Using right mouse button before may help. This happens when - I run the command as a keyboard shortcut in Xfce. If I use - --clearmodifiers, it also happens when I use the command on terminal. - - Besides: if I use the command as a keyboard shortcut (in Xfce at least) - it does not work as a right button click unless I add short delay by - sleep command in a script before running xdotool. + If I run 'xdotool click 3' as a keyboard shortcut (in Xfce at least) it + does not work as a right button click unless I add short delay by sleep + command in a script before running xdotool.
