How to make xdotool auto-click repeatedly?
How to make xdotool auto-click repeatedly where I place the cursor?
I need the auto-click to start when I press the left button of the mouse + a key, for example AltGr. And to stop when I leave the key.
I am newbie in Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. Please, give me clear instructions through steps. Thank you!

I had done it before to an other question, but my answer was removed. Do you think it is better to edit again and post it as an answer?

I found the solution after reading around and experiment. So, I post it here for others who might need help with the same issue.
Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > (Scroll down) Custom Shortcuts > Click on + and create new shortcut with the attributes:
Name: Auto-click (or whatever you want)
Command: xdotool click 1
Shortcut: press a combination of keys. Some keys might not work because they are bound by the system. Try an other combination. Done!
