easymacros

This program is inspired by xmacro, 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!

TODOs

• Playing macros (xmacro like)
  • Delay support
  • KeySym/KeyCode/KeyStr action support
  • MotionNotify and button support
  • String typing support (Not too high priority, but I'll add it some time probably)
  • ExecBlock/ExecNoBlock support (not high priority)
• Recording macros (xmacro like)
  • Delay
  • Keyboard actions
  • Mouse actions

Ideas

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
• GUI Macro editor which is actually user friendly

Platform support

• 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?)
• Windows (Yeah, I'm not doing that myself. Unless I have to use Windows for anything.)

Installation

Currently only manually possible via cargo build --release and then moving the result into your $PATH.
