Is it possible to set keyboard shortcuts to teleport to desktops beyond the first four?
I think, you can create your own shortcut, which will point to some custom script you'll write, which in its own turn will trigger the same hotkey you want to duplicate (the script will probably utilise xdotool or something similar).

How to get window title on Linux? (Ubuntu/Xlib)
I am trying to programmatically obtain a title of a process window I have PID of in Ubuntu with default configuration, or a clean Ubuntu installation if you will. I know this is possible on Linux, as I managed to get that information with xdotool, however I am trying to find a way to perform this task without an external program. That tool relies on xlib, a C solution for window management. I found an incomplete wrapper of it called X11.net and attempted to essentially translate this code to C# using it, resulting in the following:
- mapping arrow keys

Is there a way to see your webpage while your edit it?
It's really not the greatest experience, but you can combine a Vim mapping and some automation software (xdotool in this example) that presses F5 in your browser.

TurboTax’s Fight Against Free Tax Filing
> I shouldn't need to download an app to a smartphone for something that I exclusively intend to use on a desktop.
I see where you're coming from here and mostly agree. However, I will say that as someone who already had the Cash App installed the process was pretty seamless. The only major item I would change is that it would be nice to have some way to import a CSV or XLS file (or even JSON) for the capital gains forms. They offer an online spreadsheet but you still have to fill out each cell individually. If you have a few dozen trades (or more) to report it gets rather tiresome and could even be a bit error-prone.
I suppose I could have scripted the data entry with keyboard macros (via xdotool[0]), but for something I only do once per year it probably wouldn't be worthwhile… and the interface could be different next year.

Are there any Linux Distros or DEs that feature stacking and tiling of windows the same way you can do it in Haiku? Having played with Haiku a bit, these seem like amazing, useful, and obvious features. I wanna use something like that on Linux.
for that script you probably will need wmctrl and xdotool

StreamDeck like app for an Android device with Pop OS?
On Pop, install an ssh-server and activate it. Also install xdotool. (I don't use Pop so I don't know the exact commands here but if you google it I'm sure you'll find them.)

What are some of your self made scripts that you're proud of
Programatically disable compositor. The call I found online never worked for me, so xdotool to the rescue. Script. Writing this comment, I checked again and the call is working now(qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor suspend). Kudos to KDE team. I commented the line with xdotool I used to use.

xdotool key won't work with sxhkd
I am trying to find an alternative to AutoKey for keyboard macros. I've seen some suggest sxhkd combined with xdotool, which is what I'm trying here. I want to implement macros whereby when I press alt + j,i,k,l it simulates left,up,down,right arrow keys respectfully. I have the contents of ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc as:

What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
a dumb utility that scripts xdotool. I position the mouse in location A, launch my script with dmenu, enter a number N, move my mouse to location B, and hit Enter. It then clicks on location A, moves to location B and clicks there, and does it N times. It saves me hours of tedious clicking across several applications.

What I need for create an open source mixed reality glasses?

remap f11 to alt+f using setxkbmap or anything else
I don't think setxkbmap nor xmodmap are a good fit for this kinda job. For Xorg I recommend xdotool. You just need to write a command to emulate a press of the F11 key when you do Alt+f.

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.
