Morning y’all

Since I switched from windows a couple years back I have yet to find a useful macro application that can handle both mouse and keyboard inputs that also doesn’t need a lot of scripting knowledge.

Back on Windows the Logitech GHub was the perfect application for making macros. Record the macro, edit the key press down & up, delay and change whether or not the macro was a toggle or of the key needed to be held was really easy to do but ever since I switched to Linux/Debian I’ve tried numerous different applications that all seem to need a bunch of scripting knowledge that I honestly don’t have the time nor energy to learn.

I’ve tried:

    Out of curiosity, what sorts of things do you make macros for? I’ve never been a macro-er

      Mostly games to be honest! I used to have an auto-walk macro that I could toggle on and off or an auto-clicker as I don’t like to spam my mouse.

        I’ve never tried it myself but I’ve heard a lot of speedrunners map mouse click (or whatever button they need to spam) to the mouse wheel, that’s probably something you could do in Steam Input (if that’s how you’re running your games)
