AutoKey, a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.

Autokey is a desktop automation utility for Linux. You can use it as a text expander to create your own shortcuts for the functions you use the most in your favorite software. You’ll also have the choice to map longer pieces of text – or even whole templates – to short string abbreviations.

As you get more familiar with Autokey, you’ll find that you can do much more with it. You can automate desktop applications to perform the same tedious tasks without your input or even create your own mini-apps. Let’s see how you can use Autokey to automate your daily life with your computer.
