Autohotkey is awesome and special, and everybody on Windows should learn it. There is no such thing on any other OS.
v2 syntax and features are so much better. It was basically in development for a decade and AHK itself more then 20 years.

I actually think AHK has the better model here. It takes low level windows functions and presents them in a fairly simple and low friction way. MS could never end AHK without also breaking an unfathomable number of other applications.
So how to you create custom keyboard shortcuts with it?
I thought the Mac comparable was Keyboard Maestro. Are the two that different (asks someone who hasn't used Windows since the '90s)?
Also AHK community is huge.
That's sort of what AppleScript is supposed to be on MacOS I thought? I'm not familiar enough with either AutoHotKey or AppleScript to be able to compare them though
On Linux I use Wayland but there are several ways to tackle that, involving /dev/uinput. For example there's Python bindings for that and several Rust apps to achieve it. In the end I use ydotool and kbct.
On Android I use MacroDroid.
You can also do some neat stuff with Selenium.
