    Allows for full customization, as well as scripts to be executed. There is simply no equivalent software that does the job as well as autohotkey does

    AutoHotKey only works for windows, and I would expect only mac alternatives to a mac app.

    For simple text substitution, TextExpander and Keyboard Maestro can do a lot of the same things. However, Keyboard Maestro can replicate in-app functionality (by specific apps), run scripts based on events like USB / device insertion and joining a specific wifi network, etc. TextExpander is just a macro / text replacer.
