lintalist VS kanata

Cannot say if useful, but if you need to insert/copy paste text (and modifiers) there is a tool written in AHK that is very handy:

Not an answer, but in Lintalist this would the snippet

Perhaps https://lintalist.github.io/ will be of interest as well (also AutoHotkey)

Likely not, as it requires 1.1.31+[0], and this port supports up to 1.0.

Take a look at lintalist. It is an extremely well-done, extensive text expander which can do almost anything. As long as you don't need an absolutely specific, overly complex string to expand, LL is probably your easiest and most convenient bet.

Check out Lintalist... it's written in AutoHotKey and is a portable EXE. It might make writing and managing your macros a lot easier. https://lintalist.github.io/

Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards.

QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I reluctantly settled on the Logitech K860[2] and I'm now happily using my favourite features from QMK with kanata at the software level.

[2]: If I'm behind the times and there is now a QMK-compatible keyboard that looks like this, please let me know!

This is not in Emacs, but if I can't modify my keyboard's firmware (e.g on a laptop), I use Kanata https://github.com/jtroo/kanata. It works by creating a virtual keyboard in Linux (and uses a filter driver or process hooks in Windows), so it can work in any program as they just see a normal keyboard.

Besides the better caps word (by the way, you can have it in software in Win/Linux apps like https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#c...) you can also toggle capslock with e.g. a double tap while having on-hold functionality to the more useful Control, so you still wouldn't need to hold any modifier key

One particular approach that one might find it interesting is how the configuration is laid out (using S-expression from Lisps).

Kanata[0] is amazing. It support both Linux and Windows. But I'm yet to try it on windows because my majority work is on linux.
