TL;DR Download & run this script.sh and setup following key binding for keynav:
I = double click, O = right click, RETURN = click
keynav is a tool that control's mouse with keyboard superfast. It lets immediate pointer navigation to specific portion of screen, it also lets store specific point on screen and load that pointer location later (similar to vims record/replay) which is handy in some cases when you are needed to click on same area of screen frequently.
Here is a quote from keynav's site (semicomplete.com/projects/keynav):
keynav - retire your mouse.
It lets you move the pointer quickly to most points on the screen with only a few key strokes.
It lets mouse pointer reach any and every corner of screen with few keystrokes. Each key stroke devides the screen into 1/4 and lets pick any of 4 portion of screen with HJKL which is similar to vim's key binding.

Common Keys:
CTRL+; = bring up Keynav Navigator
ESC = exit
; = cause mousemove event at particular cursor position without clicking
qa = save mouse pointer location on screen for buffer 'a'
@a = go to previously saved pointer position on screen into 'a' buffer
h,j,k,l = basic navigation
Enabling double-click & right-click:
The default configuration do not come with some key actions like right click and double click. So you can enable them by adding following lines:
i warp,doubleclick 1,end
o warp,click 3,end
Add them into keynav config file ~/.keynavrc.
Give a read to this detailed documentaion for adding more actions like drag, drop, mousemove, middle click and more.
