jQuery mouse event on holding down left click

Is there a jQuery event that fires only while holding down left mouse botton ?

I have tried the .mousedown() event but it doesn't seems to work for me.

The button value in available in the mouse event. The buttons are numbered from the primary button at value 0 and upward. Look at this example.

const div = document.getElementById('log');
document.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
    div.innerHTML+= ' '+e.button;
});
div {
  border: 1px solid #000;
  padding: 3px 5px;
  min-height: 1.5em;
}
<div id="log"></div>
