indicator-sound-switcher VS AutoKey

for sound options it will only list sources that exist, so plugging in a device - to a line out, to a headphones port, to an onboard hdmi - should add populated options to the sound settings tab. I'm a fan of - https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ - for a source selector from the desktop, and for pulse audio options for simultaneous output.

i found this sound switcher - https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ - very handy. I often switch between headphones and speakers, and using pavucontrol for outputting to both.

I was using indicator-sound-switcher to toggle my sinks. One nice thing about it is that it makes it simple to set hotkeys to toggle devices.

I use sound switcher indicator

I found this tool, hope it's helpful.

The only thing close to what I need is this : https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ but with that I still can't see what output is selected.

You should check the dependencies. This source file for example imports gi and then uses that to load GTK libraries. The required packages for this to work should be in depends.

I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey

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.

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
