Hey, AutoKey is awesome indeed! I've used it myself for a while before developing espanso. In fact, I went through the code-base multiple times to understand how it could be so fast. I learned plenty of things about how the X server works thanks to you :)

Thanks for making your tool opens ource.

Do you plan to add scripting capabilities to Espanso or do you prefer to focus on the current use case ?

You're welcome! Espanso on Linux wouldn't be possible without other open-source projects, so that's the least I can do to give something back to the community :)

We might add a "macro" feature to add delays and combine multiple keypresses, but I don't see espanso becoming a general "automation" tool. There are already plenty of great options for that (including AutoKey)!
