  • AHK_X11

    AutoHotkey for Linux (X11-based systems)

  • The rewrite for Linux and specifically with X11(X-Window protocol) uses a different programming language called crystal that I'm unfamiliar with. https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11 Also there doesn't seem to be any input grammar files here either.

  • AutoHotkey_L

    Discontinued AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows. [Moved to: https://github.com/AutoHotkey/AutoHotkey]

  • The original hotkey version is open-sourced c++ targets only 32-bit/64-bit windows os: https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L

  • 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.

  • swhkd

    Sxhkd clone for Wayland (works on TTY and X11 too)

  • PuloversMacroCreator

    Automation Utility - Recorder & Script Generator

  • you can use it to build some complex GUI apps (one example which is a macro recorder for AHK written in AHK)

  • espanso

    Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust

  • ydotool

    Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)

  • I personally use ydotool, but understand people want stuff a bit easier. Still a good solution for me on Wayland.

  • keymapper

    A cross-platform context-aware key remapper. (by houmain)

  • For handling Wayland you attack the problem at the libinput layer. Example: https://github.com/houmain/keymapper

  • 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.
