Long Term Goal: Support engines other than `AutoKey` #7

Open randolf-scholz opened 7 months ago

randolf-scholz commented 7 months ago

With X11 support slowly waning, it would make more sense to refactor the project to make it easier to support other desktop automation platforms. At the very least, we will need support for a backend that supports wayland.

Some candidates:

[x] AutoKey (linux, x11)
[ ] AutoHotKey (windows)
[ ] Espanso (multi-platform)
[ ] ydotool (linux, x11, wayland)
[ ] Hawck (linux, x11, wayland)

Things to consider:

Since we will add thousands of macros, performance needs to be good.
Ease of installation.
Support for more complex macros (in particular, https://github.com/randolf-scholz/autokey_julia_unicode/issues/4)
Scripting language support

Espanso supports regex-matches which would allow supporting #4 (https://espanso.org/docs/matches/regex-triggers/)

There already exists several math-related packages for espanso: https://github.com/jpmvferreira/espanso-mega-pack
