+- Desktop IDE with screen grabber based on Qt 6
+- It uses Javascript as the scripting language instead of Python 2

+- `SIKULI_WAIT` - Global variable to set the default refresh rate between operations (milliseconds). Default = 200
+- `SIKULI_TIMEOUT` - Global variable to set the default time to wait for an image to appear (milliseconds). Default = 3000
+- `SIKULI_THRESHOLD` - Global variable to set the image match accuracy threshold (floating point from 0 to 1). Default = 0.9
+- `ClickAt(filepath, offset_x, offset_y)` - Wait for image to appear, then move the mouse and click it at the specified offset. Throws a Javascript error if no match is found.
