1 points · Open discussionAutoHotKey was already mentioned, which I use on windows. I have been looking for an alternative that I can also use on Linux and Mac OS and found SikuliX (http://www.sikulix.com/). Note that I have no idea if either AutoHotKey or SikuliX are actually capable of replicating the functionality of Keyboard Maestro since I've never used Keyboard Maestro.
Also recently I found a cross platform automation system written in go that looks promising: robotgo (https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo). I might try to use robotgo to replace the AutoHotKey scripts in my own little Unity3D command line tool unity_do (https://github.com/rakete/unity_do) in the future. So I don't have any experience with it yet.
