• Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts

  I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 23.04 Linux Performance

  On Linux, the more direct equivalent to AHK is the similarly named AutoKey. AHK itself is never going to be cross-platform, due to the low-level it interacts specifically with Windows, but AutoKey is the Linux equivalent, designed to interact low-level with Linux in a similar way to AHK on Windows.

• Text expansion app for Linux

  I've seen people mention AutoKey but I've never used it myself: https://github.com/autokey/autokey. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ergonomic lefty for Chromebook, with a good middle-click?

  You can also try remapping mouse buttons. I use autohotkey to remap the middle clock to the right click. Autohotkey is windows only, but there is autokey which might help if you are a heavy middle click user like me. Source: about 1 year ago

• Macros for Linux? Like autoit, or automated mouse/keyboard presses.

  There's also Autokey, not Wayland compatible though. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ubuntu for a Mac user (SWE)

  And, albert https://albertlauncher.github.io/ would be the default spotlight alternative, but in my experience it's not that snappy and doesn't behave exactly as you'd expect. Imo the default gnome search function is fine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Albert launcher update!

  It took quite some time, but after years of overhaul, testing, and patching I'd like to introduce Albert. New features (since 0.18) include an abstract plugin system, custom triggers, an API which got more developer friendly and of course feature rich for both C++ and Python plugins, plugins come with more features, search is even faster, UI is nicer, Qt6, C++20… Give it a try and let me know what you think.

  Https://albertlauncher.github.io/ The demonstrations there confirm searching, and way more than I can do justice here. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
