  • flameshot

    Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

  • I'm using KDE which has a great screenshot tool baked in, however, I'm familiar with a Distro agnostic one called "flameshot" that is really well-designed, and you can set up whatever shortcuts you want: https://flameshot.org/

  • gamemode

    Optimise Linux system performance on demand

  • gamemode

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • piper

    GTK application to configure gaming devices

  • Not sure what you asking about. You want to program your mouse functions? For logitech you have piper. It doesnt cover all mice but many of them. My g700 works with it but g602 not. You may check compatibility list. https://github.com/libratbag/piper

  • logiops

    An unofficial userspace driver for HID++ Logitech devices

  • There's also logiops/logid for the macroing side of things. Development is kind of dead but it works fine.

  • map2

    Linux input remapping for your keyboard, mouse and more!

  • for number 3: One way to bind mouse (keyboard, controller, etc.) keys similar to AHK is map2. It's significantly easier to use than Xorg keybindings and lets you do application specific bindings. Your can bind keys, key sequences and even complex actions such as scripts.

  • gwe

  • Definitely use GreenWithEnvy (gwe) for this! Only on AUR or Flatpak, sadly, but other than that, the software is great!

  • clipmenu

    Clipboard management using dmenu

  • I use clipmenu https://github.com/cdown/clipmenu

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • i3

    A tiling window manager for X11

  • I personally use it from i3wm with a shortcut
