AHK_X11

AHK_X11 is a Linux reimplementation of Windows AutoHotkey (AHK) CLASSIC (version 1.0.24 from 2004), with many of Windows AutoHotkey's features but more limited to legacy syntax and a subset of commands.

So like AutoHotkey, it is a free, open-source macro-creation and automation software that allows users to automate repetitive tasks. It is driven by a scripting language that was initially aimed at providing keyboard shortcuts, otherwise known as hotkeys, that over time evolved into a full-fledged scripting language.

It's compatible with X11 systems, but not yet with Wayland.

You can use AHK_X11 to:

• Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes or mouse clicks.
• You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand.
• Create hotkeys for keyboard and mouse.
• Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard and mouse.
• Expand abbreviations as you type them.
• Retrieve and change the Clipboard's contents.

You can also:

• Convert any AHK_X11 script into an executable file that can be run on Linux systems even where AHK_X11 is not installed.
• Create custom data-entry forms, user interfaces and menu bars (GUIs).
• Automate data entry jobs by reading data from text files, CSV etc.
• Use global variables, pseudo arrays.
• Use Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE).
• Debug scripts using the REPL (interactive console).
