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?

Well the focus of AutoKey seems to be more productivity and utility. It works perfectly fine, but antimicrox is better suited for my usecase.
