Linux alternative for AutoHotKey?
« on: Sun, 27 November 2011, 09:21:35 »
I use linux and would like to use some keybinds to make doing some stuff a little easier.
Does anyone know of an alternative to AutoHotKey that will work with Linux, hopefully in the Debian repos?

On Debian, I use a combination of Xmodmap, xdotool, and xbindkeys.

Every Window manager does it a little differently, but as always the Arch Wiki is your best friend (regardless of distribution)

but, like bootstrap said, Xmodmap/xdotool/xbindkeys should do whatever you need
