AutoHotKey replacement (feddit.org)

I'm currently on Nobara 42, on Windows I used AutoHotKey on some games.
At the moment I'm looking to keep automatically accelerating in Redout and enable quick-fire in Herocore. Both games were fine with mixing keyboard input from AutoHotKey and real input from a gamepad. But if possible I'd also like to simulate gamepad input.
Ideally I'd like to start the different scripts for different games individually from the pre-launch option within Lutris to avoid having to define global hotkeys that are enabled all the time.

I found AutoKey but that seems more focused on Text Input and doesn't seem to support launching scripts individually (altouigh it has a Window Filter).

Is there any other software to send input better suited to my use-case?

Autokey can trigger xdotool, pyautogui and more. I use it daily like this.

However, if you want the really good gear, check out Talon Voice. It's unfortunately closed source, but has a free access tier that's capable.

The community have created open source addons and it's stellar for daily driving, and games.
