There are the following problems (and possibly others) with this approach:
* It doesn't work in Normal mode.
* Since it means creating a keymap which prefixes a BEL character to
every possible keypress (including nonprinting ones) and is otherwise a
no-op, you cannot use a _different_ keymap.
* Hitting a modifier key (Shift, Ctrl, Meta/Alt, Cmd, AltGr, CapsLock,
NumLock) never produces a click.
* Hitting Ctrl-V U 12345678 will produce zero clicks where the desired
amount is twelve. (Similarly, to use a more realistic example, Ctrl-V u
4e00 will produce zero clicks instead of seven, and I don't see how to
harness it to make at least six clicks and still produce the CJK
character meaning "one" without an amount of work totally out of
proportion.)
* The Ctrl-K key cannot be remapped, at least in Vim builds compiled
with +digraphs, unless there's been a change since Vim 6.1. (I've tried,
but not recently.)
Best regards,
Tony.
