The main barrier for me transitioning to Linux as my main OS is finding a suitable alternative to AutoHotKey (AHK) on windows. I use AHK for all kinds of automation but haven’t found a usable alternative in Wayland.

Thought I’d check here to see if anyone has any suggestions?

    Interesting…

    I’ve created another xkb layout (of which syntax is cryptic)… Then modified window manager hotkeys. Then there’s completely other configuration for virtual terminals. sigh

    keyd looks promising tool.

      If you want to create keyboard layouts, keyd is very good for that. You can create several keyboard layers and use whatever key you want as a modifier.

      I use it to mimic the windows “US International with dead keys” layout that I’ve grown used to but it can do so much more.
