I’m currently on Nobara 42, on Windows I used AutoHotKey on some games.
At the moment I’m looking to keep automatically accelerating in Redout and enable quick-fire in Herocore.
Both games were fine with mixing keyboard input from AutoHotKey and real input from a gamepad. But if possible I’d also like to simulate gamepad input.
Ideally I’d like to start the different scripts for different games individually from the pre-launch option within Lutris to avoid having to define global hotkeys that are enabled all the time.
I found AutoKey but that seems more focused on Text Input and doesn’t seem to support launching scripts individually (altouigh it has a Window Filter).
Is there any other software to send input better suited to my use-case?
antimicrox?
Turns out Lutris even has an option to enable a specific antimicrox profile on launching a game. Perfect. Thank you!
xdotool/wdotool?
https://github.com/autokey/autokey
https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd
https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11
or just AutoHotKey on Wine/Proton
Most of these are just x11, are there any equivalents for wayland?
I’m not sure exactly what OP is looking for but I use keyd for keyboard remapping but I’m pretty sure it also fully supports macros.

I’m not sure what exactly you mean by this, but AutoKey has Python scripting built in and an extensive API:

And from a Python script you can launch any other script/program you want with a
subprocesslibrary call.Autokey can trigger xdotool, pyautogui and more. I use it daily like this.
However, if you want the really good gear, check out Talon Voice. It’s unfortunately closed source, but has a free access tier that’s capable.
The community have created open source addons and it’s stellar for daily driving, and games.
input-remapper
Might work
