Would a tool like Auto hotkey if it were implemented on Linux work with Wayland?
Examples I use: 3 finger swipe to left/right switches desktop in Sway, rebinding caps to esc.
AHK is what keeps me on Windows
On MacOS there's a few options: Keyboard Maestro, BetterTouchTool, Karabiner, Hammerspoon. Most of them aren't free and I haven't found any of them to be better than AHK, but they do the job well enough that it's certainly not a reason to look back fondly to Windows despite my lack of enthusiasm for MacOS.
But I got AHK running in Wine on Linux, and on another Linux machine with Wayland I got simple rebinds and simple scripts working with keyboard and mouse (which I could extend with say Python scripts from AutoKey?). Its more difficult on Linux, but its possible.
As someone who has been using Macs since 2006 and recently moved to Windows, I cannot recommend AHK enough.
I only have a single AHK script (I don't use windows much) and it specifically maps WinKey + Q to close a window and WinKey + H to hide a window. Windows is basically unusable for me without this convenience script!
