# easymacros

This program is inspired by [**xmacro**](https://github.com/Ortega-Dan/xmacroIncludingDelayCapturing/), however it isn't `xmacro`.

**Note**: This program is for personal use; I will modify it as I deem necessary, but feel free to open issues for suggestions or bug reports. Contributions are welcome!

I may or may not do these, but they sound fun to implement to me!

- [ ] additional macro features
  - [ ] relative cursor movements
  - [ ] screenshotting whole/parts ot the screen (using external programs)
- [ ] Macro daemon kind of thing to listen in the background for keyboard shortcuts?
  - [ ] the daemon itself
  - [ ] config file
  - [ ] rofi integration
  - [ ] dmenu integration
  - [ ] custom macro manager
- [ ] macro language?
  - [ ] Sending keys
  - [ ] mouse movements/events
  - [ ] control flow stuff/math/just normal scripting language stuff
  - [ ] reading/writing to clipboard
  - [ ] calling/recording other macros
  - [ ] running commands

<summary><h2>:desktop: Platform support :compression:</h2></summary>

- [x] Linux x11 (*only tested on `i3wm`*)
- [ ] Linux Wayland (*makes heavy use of X apis, I will only do this if I myself switch to Wayland. I'm open to suggestions how to do it though!*)
- [ ] MacOS (*Might work because of [XQuartz](https://www.xquartz.org/)?*)
- [ ] Windows (*Yeah, I'm not doing that myself. Unless I have to use Windows for anything.*) <!--(gentoolinux-girl): We both know you are not using Windows. xD-->
