I recently switched over from using windows where I used to use AutoHotKey for a few temporary shortcuts and key remapping. This is a small section of the code I used:
d::
{
sendinput, [
sleep, 30
sendinput, !o
sleep, 30
}
Pressing d would would automatically type out [, and o. I tried to do the same on sxhkd, but pressing the d key results in nothing, no d, [ or alt+o. Here's what I've tried:
d
xdotool type --delay 30 "["
sleep 30ms
xdotool type --delay 30 "alt+o"
sleep 30ms
I've tried a few other solutions, But none of them seem to work. Interestingly, replacing d with a mouse button, like button1 does make the program work, however, it only types "[" and not the alt+o.
On doing this:
d
notify-send "Key event: d"
the system does detect that the d key is pressed, But none of the above commands can be executed with keyboard keys, only mouse buttons. Help is appreciated.
