Is there a Macro application that doesn't need a whole lot of scripting knowledge?
Morning y’all
Since I switched from windows a couple years back I have yet to find a useful macro application that can handle both mouse and keyboard inputs that also doesn’t need a lot of scripting knowledge.
Back on Windows the Logitech GHub was the perfect application for making macros. Record the macro, edit the key press down & up, delay and change whether or not the macro was a toggle or of the key needed to be held was really easy to do but ever since I switched to Linux/Debian I’ve tried numerous different applications that all seem to need a bunch of scripting knowledge that I honestly don’t have the time nor energy to learn.
I’ve tried:
I'm afraid it can't do mouse inputs but I like https://espanso.org/docs/install/linux/ a lot.
Out of curiosity, what sorts of things do you make macros for? I've never been a macro-er
Mostly games to be honest! I used to have an auto-walk macro that I could toggle on and off or an auto-clicker as I don’t like to spam my mouse.

This looks promising! By chance can you toggle macros with this application so they repeat on their own without needing another key press to restart it?
Edit: Also does it support mouse inputs?
I'm unaware of anything on any OS that does a combination of keyboard and mouse macros. I'm not even sure what a mouse macros is.
Autoclicker basically.
Also AutoHotKey exists
I've been meaning to check out https://open.qa/ from the OpenSUSE folks. It's what they use to test their operating system, so I figure it should be pretty good at having mouse and keyboard events scripted under it.
Wish I could give more info, but it's been a "I want to check it out" project, so I don't know much other than it exists.
pyautogui is scripting, but it's dead simple. You really don't have to learn python to use it, just copy and paste the examples and modify to your heart's content.
