Funny, just yesterday I was working on automating my linux-desktop, and for specific capabilities, I only found solutions for AHK on Windows, not the normal tooling on Linux. And it seems the limitation of capabilities are for security reasons, like for example, the inability to send Keyboard-inputs to an unfocused window. How is this with Windows and AHK? Has Microsoft also shutting down abilities and crippling AHK in the last years? Or how is something like AHK still working find and powerful after such a long time?



>send Keyboard-inputs to an unfocused window

I'm pretty sure AHK can direct key presses based on process id or window id.


I haven't had a single script fail yet. Haven't updated most in 5 years.
