Is there a simple way to check if currently mouse is pressed down?

Found it: [System.Windows.Forms.UserControl]::MouseButtons

No. Use the "MoiseDown: event on the control

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.control.mousedown?view=netframework-4.7.2

#<your control>.add_MouseDown({
#$_ = [System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs]
# $this = sender
# code here
})

Simple? No. But see here for an example of capturing mouse clicks:

I'm assuming you want to capture the mouse only while your console window has the focus?

That captures mouse clicks from the whole system and not just in PowerShell. It also cannot capture a "Left" mouse down until another mose button is clicked.
