Logging clicks, how?

Question

linux

Good afternoon, I found an article on Habré, there is a script that logs the character set in the terminal,
but for some reason it doesn’t work for me, what am I doing wrong?
here is the script:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$TERM" != "" ]; then
  DATE=`date +%F.%H.%M`
  FOLDER="/tmp/"
  exec script -q -t $FOLDER$USER.$DATE 2> $FOLDER$USER.$DATE.time
else 
  /bin/bash $*
fi

for example here: if you run the script, then everything is fine except for tabs
