AutoKey: which hotkey was pressed? #autokey

Autokey (Linux)

Alternativa ao AutoHotKey (Windows). Uso ele basicamente para duas coisas:

- 1) remapear teclas. Exemplo: enquanto mantenho AltGr pressionado, transformo as letras do lado direito em um NumPad (meu teclado é 60%);

- 2) expansão de texto. Exemplos: digitando ":email" é preenchdio "[email protected]", ":dt" = "2026-02-24" (data), ":hr" = "12:53" (hora) etc.

PS: Uso também o keyd para trabalhar com várias camadas (layers) no teclado. Mas este é mais chato e "perigoso" de configurar; o mesmo dev fez também o warpd, que permite mover o cursor do mouse usando o teclado.

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.
