AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)

• autopilot-rs

  2 363 2.6 Rust

  A simple, cross-platform GUI automation module for Rust.

  

The changes doc would be 10x more usef if it included more examples of the changes. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/v2-changes.htm

I do wish programmers had more options in general for this kind of thing. I ran into https://github.com/autopilot-rs/autopilot-rs lately but it is extremely simple. On Windows there s UI Automation, which can help script many conventional apps. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automa...

• komorebi

  97 6,605 9.4 Rust

  A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉

This is a bit of a PITA for me as most people use AHK to handle shortcuts for komorebi[1], which led to me generating an AHK library[2] to help people write their configs. Turns out every single line of that generated library (not to mention the entire sample config for newcomers) is now invalid syntax in v2.

I'm taking a month off from development while I'm traveling, maybe I'll feel less salty about this when I get back.

The biggest issue right now is that the Run and RunWait commands require strings for the commands to be executed, and AHK v2 has absolutely garbage support for string interpolation.

Honestly I'm not sure if I'll continue supporting AHK or just develop my own sxhkd (swhkd?) and recommend that for users going forward.

• TPMouse

  14 95 10.0 AutoIt

  A virtual trackball for Windows, via vim-like homerow controls.

  

I personally use AutoIt a ton as a super fast way to quickly prototype GUIs. It's basically a really simple entrypoint for WinAPI.

Shameless plug: my script for emulating a trackball with your keyboard [0], and my tray app for quickly tweaking your cursor speed (usually for when I'm drawing something)[1]

• ModalAHK

  1 7 10.0 AutoHotkey

  Uses very simple state tracking to create mode-specific hotkeys.

Here's what I got. It's still pretty thrown together but hopefully it's helpful for ideas at least: https://github.com/url00/ModalAHK

• AutoKey

  88 3,145 5.2 Python

• AHK_X11

  22 732 8.9 Crystal

  AutoHotkey for Linux (X11-based systems)

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)

• ahk

  10 786 8.8 Python

  Python wrapper for AutoHotkey with full type support. Harness the automation power of AutoHotkey with the beauty of Python.

There is a nice python wrapper[1], perhaps that could work for your uses?
