xdotool VS keepassxc

Have a look at this: https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool

Maybe not AHK exactly, but it essentially does the same: xdotool

Use an external tool, like xdotool.

In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):

Eventually, I needed to find the ID of windows, move them, and bring them to the front—I realized I couldn't do that with gtk-rs. I needed to interact with the window manager (X11 server). So from inside my application, I ran commands that called xdotool.

You might be able to use audacity in the background by setting up an application launcher in the gnome panel that executes xdotool, which can send keyboard signals (like R for record) to running applications: https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool

Right now, I'm focusing (switching) X11 windows with a shell command (xdotool) from inside my Rust program:

Maybe xdotool [0] is what you're looking for.

I often create screen recordings for my classes, but it's very boring and time consuming. I'm a perfectionist, and if I mistype a command I prefer to re-record everything. Moreover, every time one of the tools used in the videos gets a significant update, I feel compelled to redo the video.

I have started using xdotool [1] to create bash scripts that send mouse clicks and keystrokes to apps. Interleaving calls to xdotool with the "sleep" command [2] produce a convincing effect. If I need to redo a video to fix typos or after a program update, I just fix the bash script and restart the recording.

Alas, the only thing that is missing in my videos is the sound of keyboard clicks… But nothing is perfect!

KeepassXC supports exporting, but i don't think it is released in a stable version / to the public yet:

https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/pull/8825

If you use KeePass, make sure you use the KeePassXC variant. KeePass is dead.

https://keepassxc.org/

That's why you use the superior one, KeePassXC, as linked in the NIST link: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/discussions/9433

Over there, they got pissed about people constantly bugging them about it and closed the bug with the last comment reading:

for the internet, use a password manager like keepassxc with a strong password.

Another regression is that KeePassX/C AutoType doesn't work with Wayland, so now instead of a simple CTRL+V in KeePassXC, I have to separately copy and paste the user and the pass.

That's really a shame, I know keepassxc has (recently) added support for passkeys, but does it also support import/exporting them? I only found this comment[0] in the github issue.
