God I wish someone would port AHK to linux. I literally depend on it to make software accessible.
I wonder if it works on WINE i never tried it
AutoKey might be what you are looking for
It works for the most basic scripts but unfortunately its features pale in comparison
Fair point
Same here, for some reason my covid hobby was learning a new keyboard layout and while I now prefer using Dvorak, my attempts at remapping key bindings like cut/copy/paste on linux has has been unreliable at best, and then switching between Dvorak and QWERTY for games that don't support layout-agnostic controls usually doesn't even register (at least on the steam deck it doesn't seem to)
have you tried keyd? I only use it for a few very simple remaps, but it's got tons of nooks and crannies to lose yourself in.
