From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Morning y’all

Since I switched from windows a couple years back I have yet to find a useful macro application that can handle both mouse and keyboard inputs that also doesn’t need a lot of scripting knowledge.

Back on Windows the Logitech GHub was the perfect application for making macros. Record the macro, edit the key press down & up, delay and change whether or not the macro was a toggle or of the key needed to be held was really easy to do but ever since I switched to Linux/Debian I’ve tried numerous different applications that all seem to need a bunch of scripting knowledge that I honestly don’t have the time nor energy to learn.

I’ve tried:

pyautogui is scripting, but it's dead simple. You really don't have to learn python to use it, just copy and paste the examples and modify to your heart's content.
