Linux equivalent of Autohotkey?

[Megalorian]

Does anyone here know if there is a Linux equivalent of Autohotkey?

[Megalorian]

From what I can see, there are 3 choices:

http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/
http://xmacro.sourceforge.net/
http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html

Has anyone used any of these? The ultimate question I have is which is the best one to use?

actually in windows I used Hot keyboard Pro. I just installed ubuntu 8.04 a few days ago on my laptop and have linux equivalent for all the programs i need except for Hot Keyboard Pro and Newsbin Pro. Have you tried any of those linux hotkey programs yet?

[Megalorian]

Not yet. It's on my 'to do' list. I need to sort out some installation issues first. But I will post back here after I try them out.

well if you have a multimedia keyboard, there is possibly a way to make it function.
there is a built in tool under system> preferences> keyboard shortcuts.
it might work if you play around with it.

For simple actions, why not use the global keybindings?

Run > gconf-editor > metacity.
