I've summarized my settings and customization of my desktop using #GNOME48 (from #Debian13 #Trixie) on https://karl-voit.at/Gnome-Setup/

Including:
- my choice of #GNOME Extensions
- custom scripts in "Files" (#Nautilus) incl. keyboard shortcuts
- most settings can be easily set by gseetings in your shell without requiring Settings or Tweaks UI
- list of current bugs relevant to me

Still missing:
- Working text snippets like #AutoKey or #AHK

TRIUMPH! The LAST and FINAL thing holding me back from completely moving to #Wayland was replacing #AutoKey for text expansion.

#espanso appears to replace all the functionality (at least that I use, although the scripting is not via Python). Happy!

NOTE! DEBIAN USERS! If you follow the instructions on the installation page, you get an old release that has dependency issues. Download the LATEST RELEASE 2.2.3 of the Wayland .deb

https://github.com/espanso/espanso/releases/tag/v2.2.3

and then follow the installation instructions:

can someone tell me, how to get #AutoKey (installed appstream://autokey-gtk.desktop) from Discover working in all windows in #Neon #KDE?

It works in Google Chrome, but not in #Thunderbird (which would be 95% of my usage) or Kate.

Well, I could solve the #autokey problem.

Nun gut, das Problem bei #autokey konnte ich lösen.

The PC is now running #Garuda #Linux, which means it's still running #ArchLinux. However, some oddities are annoying. #luakit doesn't want to learn other search engines, but what's particularly annoying is that abbreviations, or letter shortcuts, can no longer be defined with #autokey. When I click "OK" in the corresponding dialog window, nothing happens. Hotkeys, however, can be configured. I don't get it. #Arch

Der PC läuft nun mit #Garuda #Linux, also weiterhin mit #ArchLinux. Einige Merkwürdigkeiten nerven jedoch. #luakit will keine anderen Suchmaschinen lernen, aber besonders übel ist, dass sich bei #autokey keine Abbreviations, also Buchstabenkürzel, mehr definieren lassen. Beim Klick auf "OK" im zugehörigen Dialogfenster passiert einfach nichts. Hotkeys hingegen lassen sich einstellen. Kapiere ich nicht. #Arch

Ich nutze dafür, ebenfalls nach meinem Umstieg von Windows, seit Jahren #Autokey. Meines Wissen in allen Distributionen erhältlich. Es braucht als Basis autokey-common und dann je nach System autokey-qt oder autokey-gtk (nicht beides, sondern nur eins davon).

The advantages of #Espanso are its cross-platform ability and, like #AutoHotKey, but unlike #Texpander and #Autokey, it doesn't need a separate file for each trigger, so you can have thousands!
