Code Script Runner Raw Data Munging Setup pyautogui-pixel-color.py xlib-color.py xwd-convert-chained.py xwd-convert.sh All Together Slow Only Conclusions Code You can find everything here in the repo.

Quickly Detect Cursor Position and Color

I’ve been absolutely thrilled moving my home dev world back to Fedora. I’m not fighting OS ads, virtualization just works, and my settings actually stay the same after updates. I am, however, missing AutoHotkey. It’s been an integral part of my computing world since undergrad. I’ve spent the better part of three years looking for a POSIX AHK clone with no luck. I’ve tossed around the idea of starting something similar for some time now.
