I think post-command-hook is what you wish to use.

It is run every time a command has been run. And a command is basically any interactive action, such as clicking a mouse button, typing a letter (which runs self-insert-command, or running a command using M-x.

You may wish to make sure your hook is not run while you are typing in the minibuffer. I think wrapping the body in (unless (window-minibuffer-p) …) will care of that for you.

And possibly, you want your hook only to be active when you are editing certain files. In which case, you might consider making post-command-hook buffer local.

(add-hook 'post-command-hook #'your-hook nil :local)

will take care of that for you. (Edited to add this last point.)
