AutoKey

AutoKey is a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11. It lets users define abbreviations that expand into text, assign hotkeys to actions and write Python scripts that control the keyboard and perform other desktop tasks, which saves time on repetitive typing and routine operations.

The documentation describes an introduction and glossary, how settings are organized and moved to a new computer, common actions such as adding abbreviations, and an API reference that includes a keyboard interface with different send modes. The application is written in Python and offers both Qt and GTK front ends, according to the repository topics. The project seeks contributors, as the help-wanted topic suggests.

AutoKey is licensed under GPL-3.0 and runs locally on your own machine, with no cloud component. It suits Linux users on X11 who want something similar to text expanders and scripting tools available on other platforms.
