Is .click() an actual mouse click? [duplicate]

How can you check if a .click() is an actual mouse click or you just are calling .click()?

I don't think you can.

But you can instead use a different event, like mousedown, but that could also be called manually as well.

Why do you need to differentiate between code-triggered and user-triggered events?

Set the action for the click event to call a function with the argument isClick=1. When you call the same function otherwise, call it with isClick = 0.
