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

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.

Does anybody have issues with AutoKey (GNU/Linux) with GNU/Emacs?
I do think that the bug report on https://github.com/autokey/autokey/issues/763 is quite profound. In case you did not follow that link, you might have too few information about my issue, that's true.

Bad Emacs Defaults
Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.
It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.
A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:

Curious to know what are your general experiences on using keyboard and mouse input automations on Wayland...
Autokey does not work yet, but there is Hawck and Espanso that you could play around with. And there is ydotool if all you need is simulating basic input (as in ydotool mousemove -x -10 -y -10, ydotool type 'Hello world!' and so on).
What are some alternatives?
AutoHotkey - AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows.
pydirectinput - Python mouse and keyboard input automation for Windows using Direct Input.
pyautogui - A cross-platform GUI automation Python module for human beings. Used to programmatically control the mouse & keyboard.
robotjs - Node.js Desktop Automation.
xdotool - fake keyboard/mouse input, window management, and more
ydotool - Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)
