Add a simpler way to detect keyboard/mouse inputs with commands

As of now, the best ways to detect mouse clicks are either with carrots on a stick/ warped fungus on a stick, hitting mobs, or talking to untradable villagers always teleporting in front of the player.

Don't even let me get started on detecting the pressed keys which not only require the player to be riding another entity but also vector calculations.

In other words, what is possible at the moment always has some limitations, complications or is very command intensive.

Also the frequency at which carrot on a stick clicks are detected is every 4 ticks, so it's impossible to have a system that detects when a mouse button is being constantly pressed.

What could be done is either add scoreboard objectives that increase in value when the keys are pressed or make it a game event that can be detected via /execute 

Thanks for your time :)

  Maybe there could be a scoreboard objective for each keybind such as "minecraft.input:minecraft.jump" that is 0 when not held and increases when held?

  So you can check if it's one and reset to know that it was pressed, and see if it continues increasing to know that it's being held down, such as with the sneaking objective.

  this would be so much easier to detect as with items that requires right click detection but has no right click functionality. And maybe we can create custom key inputs so other keys can be used instead of the same, sneak key, swap key, etc.
