Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a tool similar to Autohotkey that actually works with Wayland. Here's what I'm looking for:
- I need an easy way to manage shortcuts, including turning sets of shortcuts on and off.
- My main requirement is to be able to send a sequence of keys (like arrow keys followed by some letters or numbers) with a shortcut. I'm not interested in any advanced window management features.
P.S. I've heard about adding scripts in Cachyosmenu's keyboard shortcuts, but I'm struggling to find any documentation on how to use that. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried using keyd? I'm not entirely sure if it has exactly what you need, but it might be worth a shot! I use it just to remap my Ctrl and Esc to Caps Lock. Here’s the link: https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd
If you're on KDE Plasma, you might be able to achieve this using global hotkeys or a KWin script. No additional tools should be necessary. It’s pretty flexible with its built-in options!
Yeah, I’m using KDE Plasma too! I see you can add scripts to shortcuts in the keyboard menu, but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to write those scripts.
Thanks! I'll check that out. I like that it supports switching keyboard layouts, so I can potentially enable or disable my hotkeys with a different shortcut. Sounds promising!
