    It needs polish but is a powerful tool to get started fast with autohotkey even if you know nothing about programing, the catch is that some times it get stuck and need to restart but is totally worth it if you wand a macro knowing almost nothing and geting done really quick

    because it is as easy to use and automate, except that it doesn't really support keyboard shortcuts, but because this is built-in to most desktop environments it isn't really needed in Linux.
