What programs are available for Linux that can give a context sensitive automation like AutoHotKey for Windows. a few example of things that I would like to do.
- Replace
]dwith the current date, when typed. - Map Ctrl+Enter to Tab,Tab,Enter when on a Chrome browser with Google+. For quick posting.
- Replace a string "mysig" with a signature when either Gmail is pulled up or when an evolution new mail window has the focus.
What options are there for this? I would really like a program that is independent of all others so that I can have shortcuts and hot-strings map across all programs. I've really gotten used to the date string and a few others that are very handy.
