  What you're looking for is called text expansion, for example this: https://github.com/autokey/autokey.

  No not BigLet, but emoji characters. You can type in this really fast using a script I made for AutoKey. The script is on their wiki under the advanced contributes. https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki but also here:

• Macro Programs

  It's not that plural on Linux, but what I have found is that Autokey from https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki, https://github.com/autokey/autokey/releases/ is a great program to have. It supports both text macros and scripts. The scripts run on Python. I use it for all kinds of things such as a password manager, ssh manager, ip manager, link manager and more.

• Mouse double-clicking, AHK.

  I found this with a quick DDG search: https://github.com/autokey/autokey I have zero experience using it, but it looks like it has what you want.

  What about autokey? https://github.com/autokey/autokey (I use it to have emacs keybindings in more places, but looks pretty flexible)

  It’s your lucky day, Autokey is available on a lot of Linux distros directly in repos and is extremely similar.

• Logitech Gaming Software alternative for linux

  xbindkeys also required the use of xdotool which also doesn't work under wayland, but it seems that there is a replacement in ydotool and wtype. There is also autokey as an xdotool alternative which seems to be based on python.

• I created a (Linux) script to easily type Unicode math everywhere.

  So, I though about how to get this feature system-wide and found a solution in AutoKey. I created a script that autogenerates all necesary macros:

• Looking for a clipboard manager with custom hotkeys and installable via apt-get
  reddit.com/r/pop_os | 2021-08-11

  I really like clipboard-indicator, and recently contributed some review time & code to get (jpg/png) images working in it. What if you use something else to change the keys? For example [autokey](https://github.com/autokey/autokey) ?

• autokey is it still working ?
  reddit.com/r/Warframe | 2021-07-30

  Yes, you can download it from here, though I don't know why you're asking this on the Warframe subreddit.

  reddit.com/r/Ubuntu | 2021-07-03

  Autokey is quite similar to AHK: https://github.com/autokey/autokey

• Venting about "mouse clipboard" which tripled my productivity
  reddit.com/r/linux | 2021-06-15

  Use something like Autokey (or create your own script using xdotool / ydotool + wl-clipboard, etc.) to get things done even faster.

• Any way to change the command to f3? Or autohotkey alternatives for linux?
  reddit.com/r/GalliumOS | 2021-06-14

  As an alternative to autohotkey there's Auto key.

• Does not run in certain applications

  We are working on improving our documentation. In particular, you may want to take a look at https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki/Emitting-Keyboard-Events . Among other things, it covers why you should almost always avoid using `keyboard.send_key()`.
