Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

    I’ve been wanting to try to leave Windows for Linux, but I just can’t find a replacement for AutoHotkey that can do everything that it can. It would have to be some kind of weird combination of various Python libraries, AutoKey, and Espanso, and even then it’s either not as easy or downright convoluted at best.

    I also can’t find any FOSS image editor that can do this.

      I think that it never happened because folks find the power in bash scripts instead and different desktops can’t be automated the same anyway.

          Auto type is so handy. I used KeePass previously, but recently switched to using these commands to type out my clipboard after pressing a custom hotkey: sh -c 'sleep 0.5; xdotool type "$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)"'

          It is so damn handy, especially when you have to deal with VNC and iDRAC so often

      I use hyprland and can bind stuff through their config, whether that is some library functions or executing a script i wrote. I’m sure there are other ways to do similar with different desktop environments.
