I couldn't get by without AutoHotkey and AltSnap. Especially having extra buttons on my mouse, there's so many custom shortcuts, commands, controls, etc. that I couldn't make without them. AltSnap also has a built-in borderless windowed button that works better with games than some apps I have used that are explicitly for that purpose. I have shortcuts for changing volume, switching windows, toggling always-on-top, and even making windows transparent all from the mouse.
While I think AHK is great and I always use it if I'm daily driving a Windows install.. it's pretty sad that you have to use such a janky language + have this software always open listening to events just to do custom hotkeys on Windows.
On Gnome I can just write a shell script, go into Gnome settings and then add a hokey to it. I don't need to install anything, it works much more fluidly, and takes up less system resources.
Holy shit. I've been sad we don't have ahk but this is such a simple solution. thank you.
I'm with you here, but as a Linux user I use AutoKey. Game changer
