  • I've searched it in Ubuntu software center. But it says no results found. i've searched so many similar keywords but nothing that I want. I want to make shortcut keys just as I can do in Windows, in autohotkey software. http://www.autohotkey.com/ And also I just want something like that. Alternatives are also enough. But it should have the qualities of Autohotkey

    The Ubuntu source package is autokey which contains the binary packages autokey-gtk, autokey-qt and autokey-common. To install it in Ubuntu you want to run sudo apt install autokey-gtk or sudo apt install autokey-qt. autokey-qt is only available up to and including Ubuntu 16.04, after that only autokey-gtk is available.

  • The packages autohotkey-gtk and autohotkey-qt do not exist in the Ubuntu repositories (in Ubuntu 23.04) and do not exist in the Snap store.
