Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Using AutoHotkey as a backend engine for PowerShell
Well. I author something similar, it's a bridge to use AHK from Python, but when it comes to this idea of a fully structured means of passing data between the two platforms that's something that this package implements.
-
AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
There is a nice python wrapper[1], perhaps that could work for your uses?

How to automate windows without needing to get away from keyboard?
Check out AutoHotkey (AHK) for simple Windows automation needs. There is a python wrapper: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk
-
Alternative to pyautogui for mouse click
There's pynput but that might have the same problem. If you're on Windows AutoHotkey is an awesome way to automate mouse and keyboard actions (but it's a different language than Python, although it seems someone has made a Python wrapper for it).
-
Which python library: ahkpy or ahk?
In this case, both seem reasonably active for a project like this. The latter (https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk) seems more active and has more comprehensive docs.
-
What are some of the main reasons I should switch to pytest from unittest?
I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but one of my projects does this. Most the tests are unittest.TestCase style, some of them are pytest style. All the tests are run just using pytest.
-
Interacting with Python
So, I author a Python ahk package that does this currently using IPC. The default model starts AHK and stops immediately for each command
-
Can Python do everything AHK can do?
Well, you can leverage AHK with a Python library. So, yes, Python can do everything AHK can do and more.
-
AHK is NOT user friendly
Anyhow. AHK's non-user-friendliness is also what motivated me to make a Python wrapper for AHK. So I TOTALLY get where you're coming from!
-
Tech savvy people of Reddit, what is a computer tip you are sure most haven't heard of?
Maybe you'd like the python wrapper for AutoHotkey better.
AHK_X11

Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
Just FYI the exact same thing is now also possible with AHK_X11 on Linux https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11
- Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now
-
Steam deck - Macros
If you can't get what you want via Steam Input, you'll have to go desktop mode with a full macro suite likeAHK_X11 or Keysharp.

Wine Wayland Driver
This falls right on time for my 2023 "Linux on the desktop" attempt! (now I wish https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11 had a Wayland option...)
I can't live without Office! My personal favorite is 2010 x64, as Word then starts faster than the current Wordpad.
Office 2010 works great in Windows 11, but there've been some suspicious move making me believe old office version will be given a poison pill or something under the plausible deniability of "security risks of 13 year old software", like how Outlook 2010 can't connect to outlook.com anymore (though it works great with gmail using google's GWSO plugin)
On MY computer, I run what I want. So I'll try Office 2010 in wine within Wayland.

Learning Linux: recommended resources
I want to switch, but the only snag is that I love AutoHotkey, and a Linux port is still in progress. I use AutoHotkey to make my keyboard and (especially) my mouse more useful. I could probably do the same things by other means in Linux—everything is customizable in Linux, after all. And anyway I might use my mouse less and less as I become more capable with the terminal. Still, I'll wait a while in the hope that I'll be able to more or less plop my AutoHotkey script into the Linux version.

AutoHotkey v2 Official Release Announcement
Check out https://bitbucket.org/mfeemster/keysharp/ and https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11, two attempts at porting AHK to Linux. The former isn't usable yet, the latter is by me and somewhat incomplete.

What's your current experience with WSL?
The only Windows-specific app I use is AutoHotkey, and I'm pleased to see that a Linux rewrite is in development 🎉 And wouldn't you know it, written in Crystal!
-
AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
AHK_X11 is AutoHotkey for Linux and it does not yet support Wayland, but it's definitely impossible https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11/issues/2 (see also: ydotool)

Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
I have recently learned to use it to create an AutoHotkey for Linux implementation (https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11), and it's been a delightful experience. If you like programming in Go and Ruby syntax, this will be your go to language. Other than that, it bears but few surprises, which I would consider a good thing. Its major downside is its compilation time and poor IDE support. Also, you should not be afraid to search through Crystal's GitHub issues or dig into the stdlib's source for more exotic use cases. However, the latter is as easily accessible as is your own code, and the community around Crystal seems quite friendly and welcoming. Contrary to sibling comments, I find it well suited for programs outside of web development as well.
And most of all, it's fast.
