I am converting from Windows to Linux. Is there an AutoHotkey L for Linux?

There is no AutoHotkey _L for Linux and as far as i know windows emulators in Linux wont run ahk. There is an alternative tough. http://www.ironahk.net/ i dont think it is as worked as ahk _L, i also think the work on it has been halted. It is your best bet ( other than learning something native to Linux ). Hope this helped.

PLEASE find me on the IRC if you have questions. I'm never on the forum anymore.

the problem is that bash scripts are robust and literally everything can be done from the commandline. there just isnt any need to automate the front end of anything in linux

tank, there isn't any need to automate the front end of anything in Windows either. It's just damn convenient. The same would go for Linux. Maybe you'd just be binding bash scripts to hotkeys instead of manipulating the GUI.
