For windows users, I recommend AutoHotkey

  Are there decent Linux alternatives?

    The closest one is probably https://github.com/autokey/autokey https://github.com/autokey/autokey

    If I may plug my own free project, https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard may achieve what you want. Also note it has mouse support now; it's hidden, but exists.

    Isn't Autohotkey just echoing a text or running a script for an associated key combination? KDE has that built in (I think they call it khotkeys?). I'd be surprised if other DEs don't have similar? IIRC Autohotkey makes an application from your hotkey choice that you then run (eg via autostart or using an icon) to instate the hotkey afresh every reboot. To this end it seemed inferior to the KDE equivalent for me, but that could just be familiarity bias.
