I'm considering switching to Linux for gaming, but I heavily rely on Fusion 360 and a lot of automation through AutoHotkey (AHK). I use AHK for various scripts that automate routine tasks, such as downloading CSV files, uploading them to Google Drive, and executing commands in Google Sheets. However, I've found that AutoHotkey 2.0 isn't available for Linux. While I know Autokey exists, I'm looking for something that can replicate the full AHK functionality, including my Stream Deck integration. Is there a way to achieve similar automation on Linux? I'm open to learning new scripting languages, even if they're more complex than AHK.

You should definitely check out Autokey. It might not be a complete 1:1 replacement, but it has a lot of functionality that could cover what you need. Plus, it allows for custom scripts, which could help you automate those repetitive tasks you mentioned.
Autokey is pretty powerful! While it uses Python, which has a bit of a learning curve, it's a great scripting language to know. You'll find that a lot of people in the Linux community use tools like batch scripts for automation. This combination could really enhance your workflow on Linux.
I read that Autokey primarily supports X11. Have you found any forks or alternatives that work with Wayland?
