I see the benefit in this, having one script that works everywhere.

It's also good to know linux has autokey (https://github.com/autokey/autokey) for the same result. The name is close, but it's a different project.

It's not compatible with autohotkey, but you can script using python. I used it to enter dates, emails and automatize dynalist.io actions.



Yes for autokey, I've used that to get emacs-like keys everywhere (modified from https://github.com/psederberg/autokey-emacs-config to https://github.com/podiki/autokey-emacs-config/tree/key-twea...)


Autokey is "good enough" but unmaintained and really rough around the edges. I really wish someone picked it up because it's 85% of the way to being a great automation tool.


Good addition.[0]

There's also sxhkd and xbindkeys, for anyone looking for alternatives.
