Title: Hello HN,<p>this is the first functional reimplementation of AutoHotkey [1] for Unix-like systems, as far as I am aware. Half the commands are still missing, but everything important is done, as I have worked a lot on it over the past two months. Converting scripts into stand alone binaries is also supported. Hope this will find some adoption eventually. :-) - This implementation focuses on v1.0-like classic syntax from 2004 (!). This is a significant <i>subset</i> of the popular current v1.1 syntax from Windows (AHK_L). The reason this does not (yet?) target the full Windows spec is how complex it is. Notably, there&#x27;s also another ongoing project which targets v2 called KeySharp [2].<p>If you are not aware of what AHK is, it is an easy but capable scripting language for automation and Hotkeys, and all sorts of visual things like GUIs.<p>If you want to learn more, there plenty of info on the repo, the docs html, and there&#x27;s an active AHK Discord too, and I am personally also checking the forums and HN of course.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.autohotkey.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.autohotkey.com&#x2F;</a>
