Auto E Presser: Press E Automatically

Updated October 2026 · New in AutoClick Pro 1.6.0 · Windows, Linux & Steam Deck

E is the interact key in a huge number of games: collect, open, talk, harvest, pick up. When a game asks for it hundreds of times in a row, an auto E presser does the pressing for you. This guide sets one up with the Key Clicker in AutoClick Pro, in about a minute, and then makes it smarter: pressing E only while the "Press E" prompt is actually on screen.

The one-minute setup

  1. Open the Key Clicker page. It is under Tools in the sidebar, below the Auto Clicker. Its first profile already presses E every 100 ms: nothing to choose.
  2. Pick a sensible speed. 100 ms is fast. If the game's menus or animations swallow presses, set the interval to 250-1000 ms. Tick Use random interval for presses that don't land like a metronome.
  3. Click into the game, then press F4. Keys go to whichever window has focus, so start it from the game with the hotkey. F4 again stops it; Esc stops everything.

Press E only while the prompt is on screen

Pressing E non-stop can open menus or talk to the wrong thing. The Key Clicker can wait for the game's own prompt instead:

  1. On the Images page, press Capture from Screen… while the "Press E" prompt is showing, and drag a box around it. Press Test to check it is found.
  2. Back on the Key Clicker page, set Condition to Only while an image is on screen and choose that image.
  3. Start it with F4. While the prompt is gone it waits; when the prompt appears, it presses E.

A pixel works too: set the condition to Only while a pixel has a colour and pick a pixel of the prompt. That check is cheaper than an image search.

When E has to be held

Some interactions need E held for a few seconds (opening a crate, reviving, channelling). Switch the Key Clicker to Hold the key down until stopped, or keep Tap and raise the hold time to the length the game wants, up to 10 seconds per press.

Other keys, same idea

Nothing here is special to E. Choose any key, or a combination such as Shift+F, from the same page. The full walkthrough of every setting is in the keyboard clicker guide.

Fair-play note: this presses E for you, nothing more: an ordinary key press sent to the focused window. Many single-player and idle games are fine with that, but some online games and game servers prohibit automation in their rules. Check the rules of the game you are playing.

Press E for me. Click for me too.
