Did some, but the syntax wasn't my cup of tea. The _really_ great feature of AHK to me was having the triggers and the actions all in one place though, which is something I couldn't really replicate with AppleScript that only has

The knee-jerk reaction of "defund the police" to the power abuses of police officers struck me as deeply weird from the beginning. It made me wonder whether the right NOR the left had any clue left as what the role of a police for
