spacehammer VS AHK_X11

For certain concepts that I don't understand fully, I'm using chatgpt-shell. It is beyond fantastic and almost impossible to describe in a single post. This is, for example, just one of my use cases: When I'm writing a comment or a message to my colleague (and of course, yes, I edit just about any text in Emacs), I can select a paragraph and ask chatgpt-shell to improve it. It does, but it also shows me the diff of the changes, that is how I set it up.

I’ve been using hammerspoon for several years and it has really become integral to my workflow.

You may want to check out the extension package spacehammer[0]. It includes a bunch of workflows and shortcuts that I’ve found extremely useful.

Interestingly (for me at least), it’s authored in Fennel [1], a lisp that compiles to lua. I actually found spacehammer originally when I was working on converting my personal hammerspoon config to Fennel.

Throw in Spacehammer, and you can add a note from anywhere in the operating system.

I'm a big fan of hammerspoon, but not so much Lua. I also use emacs with Doom, where a lot of bindings are behind a 'leader key'. I found an awesome framework called 'spacehammer'[1] that fits very well into the way I like to work. It similarly hides binding behind a leader, and it's written in Fennel, a lisp that compiles to Lua. I feel like I get to expand the customizability of Emacs out to my whole system and I love it. Hammerspoon is pretty bare on its own so I suggest you check out spacehammer even if it's just a show case of the potential of hammerspoon.

Just FYI the exact same thing is now also possible with AHK_X11 on Linux https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11

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.

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.

GitHub - phil294/AHK_X11: AutoHotkey for Linux (X11-based systems)

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.

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.

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!

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)

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.
