You don't have to click. A single keystroke (F9) does it too ;-)
Just that if you are testing for a hint appearing when you mouse over a button,
it's handier to move the cursor a coule of inches and click a Delphi IDE button
with the same hand than it is to go for F9. But either way works.
An integrated debugger that lets you step through your app and watch the visuals
happen as you step by various chunks or run to breakpoints etc is useful
sometimes too.
You can also do totally command-line oriented, non-GUI stuff much as you'd do
C, except
in object pascal. A minimal app:
[11:51] E:\UTIL\log>type hw.dpr
program Hw;
{$Apptype Console}
begin
Writeln('Hello World');
end.
[11:51] E:\UTIL\log>dcc32 hw.dpr
Delphi for Win32 Version 10.0 Copyright (c) 1983,97 Borland International
