    While I think AHK is great and I always use it if I’m daily driving a Windows install… it’s pretty sad that you have to use such a janky language + have this software always open listening to events just to do custom hotkeys on Windows.

    On Gnome I can just write a shell script, go into Gnome settings and then add a hokey to it. I don’t need to install anything, it works much more fluidly, and takes up less system resources.

      Holy shit. I’ve been sad we don’t have ahk but this is such a simple solution. thank you.
