So I was watching a replay of last year's Worlds and I am so confused about Auto attacks. Help?

I saw a moment where Pawn is playing Jayce, and he is in his ranged stance. He then is clearing a ward and he uses the attack speed boost thing and autos, moves, autos, moves, autos, moves without missing a beat-- which basically means 6 clicks to me in less than a second (and not just clicking-- clicking to move to the left then moving back to click the ward-- etc.). I know these people are good, but how is that even humanly possible? I notice good ADC's are doing very similar things at any time while attacking.

Is there some kind of button to set up for Attack nearest champion, or attack nearest target or something? Because I don't see how there is any other way possible unless they are clicking, pushing a button, clicking pushing a button, clicking pushing a button. I could be wrong but it just doesn't seem possible.

Switching between move and attack move. default is "A + left click" for attack move which makes your character attack the closest thing on its path to the location selected. By toggling between regular move and this you can essentially click in one spot to move in that direction while attacking something in a different direction.

Yep, UberAffe is right. Attack Move is your friend mate. (I think it's actually possible to set it that your normal right click functions like Attack Move, check the settings in a custom game or your next match)

A good way to do it (I don't know if any pros do it, though) is to set up (on a 3-button mouse), one button for attack move. For me, I have my left click as attack move, my middle button as select (what left click normally does), and right click unchanged.
