Clicking does not work without mouse plugged in #93

Description

@ZMensRain

First describe the bug.
Everything works great but if I disconnect my physical mouse I can no longer click

You should be able to answer the following questions:

  • How to reproduce the bug?
  1. run wl-kbptr
  2. type characters to move pointer into position
  3. type g
  4. see it works
  5. unplug mouse
  6. repeat without mouse being plugged in
  7. see it does not work
  • What is going wrong?
    When my physical mouse is unplugged I cannot click in tile mode
  • What is the expected behaviour?
    When my mouse is unplugged and can still use the program

It is helpful to provide screenshots and screencasts.

Then give the following information:
Config

# wl-kbptr can be configured with a configuration file.
# The file location can be passed with the -c parameter.
# Othewise the `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wl-kbptr/config` file will
# be loaded if it exits. Below is the default configuration.
