Check out https://bitbucket.org/mfeemster/keysharp/ https://bitbucket.org/mfeemster/keysharp/ and https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11 https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11, two attempts at reimplementing AHK on Linux. The former is v2 but not usable yet, the latter is by me, v1 "classic" and somewhat incomplete.
- irthomasthomas 4y agoMany thanks. How do they compare with autokey? I haven't tried it properly, but it gets mentioned a lot. https://github.com/autokey/autokey https://github.com/autokey/autokey
- phil294 4y agoI haven't used AutoKey personally, but it's quite capable and generally "just" a Python library that also happens to ship with its own optional editor (https://autokey.github.io/autokey/_images/AutoKey_Scripting.png https://autokey.github.io/autokey/_images/AutoKey_Scripting....). Keysharp / AHK_X11 on the other hand ship their own runtimes that will be / are compatible with the actual programming language AutoHotkey v2 / v1 and thus cannot be used in conjunction with other languages, apart from shell invocation. For a detailed feature comparison with AutoKey you will have to research this yourself, but there's at least one feature which is exclusive to AHK_X11 right now, and that is accessibility-related commands such as ControlClick or WinGetText.
- irthomasthomas 4y agoAHH that's very interesting and useful. I'll definitely check them out.
