#AutoHotkey to 🐧 GNU/‬#Linux!
(#X11, that is.)

☝️ Caveat: It only supports legacy #AHK 1.1 syntax and does not aim for 100% feature parity/compatibility, but should enable you to use most of your #hotkeys and #hotstrings #crossplattform! (Sync on your own).

Excerpt from the AHK_X11's README:

HK_X11 is a very basic but functional reimplementation AutoHotkey v1.0.24 (2004) for Unix-like systems with an X window system (X11), written from ground up in Crystal, with the eventual goal of 80% feature parity, but most likely never full compatibility. Currently about 80% of work of getting there is done, but even at 100%, because of the old version of the spec (at least for now), many modern AHK features are missing, especially expressions (:=, % v), classes, objects and functions, so you probably can't just port your scripts from Windows. More to read: Project goals

This AHK is shipped as a single executable native binary with very low resource overhead and fast execution time. You can use AHK_X11 to create stand-alone binaries with no dependencies, including full functionality like Hotkeys and GUIs. (just like on Windows)

Please also check out Keysharp, a WIP fork of IronAHK, another complete rewrite of AutoHotkey in C# that tries to be compatible with multiple OSes and support modern, v2-like AHK syntax with much more features than this one. In comparison, AHK_X11 is a lot less ambitious and more compact, and Linux only.

Features:

✓ Hotkeys
✓ Hotstrings
✓ Key remappings
✓ Window management
✓ Send keys
✓ Control mouse
✓ File management
✓ GUIs
✓ One-click compile script to portable stand-alone executable
✓ Scripting: labels, flow control: Loop, IfWinExists, etc.
✓ Window Spy
✓ Context menu and compilation just like on Windows
