Usually the issues presented about AutoHotkey being on a different OS has been the Windows APIs and Dlls, where the code needs to be different for that OS. The thinking that AutoHotkey code must be married to C++ and Windows, instead of thinking of AutoHotkey as it's own language that could use other interpreters, written in other programming languages.
I think the other part of the issue is mindset. C#, Object Pascal, or Red would be good cross-platform candidates as well. I don't know how well Lua works out as a cross-platform language. It's interesting that this isn't being done for AutoHotkey. Many other programming languages make use of such. That sounds like a Transpiler or Source-to-Source Compiler. For instance have Lua "interpret" the AHK code by reading regular AHK code and then tranforming it into something Mac OS can understand. I've heard you can do this by translating AHK via another common language, such as Lua. Some users might find it intimidating, which is a shame because AutoHotkey is actually easy to use and can automate the most basic commands as easily as complex strings.Is it possible to run the same AHK code written for Windows on a Mac by using a different software (e.g. Bottom LineĪutoHotkey is an impressive app with almost limitless capabilities in the right hands. Scripting: It's not difficult to write macros, and AutoHotkey provides extensive instructions and support nevertheless, it's another aspect that might intimidate inexperienced users. ConsĬomplex: AutoHotkey makes things easier, but it has so many options, features, and capabilities that less experienced users might find it daunting. Directives enable direct (sometimes brute force) commands for many operations. Windows management: AutoHotkey has many Windows controls, including Groups (GroupActivate, GroupAdd, GroupClose, GroupDeactivate). PixelSearch searches for pixels by color. PixelGetColor records the color of single pixels at precise screen coordinates. Screen management: AutoHotkey's ImageSearch command can search screen regions for images. Hotstrings: Hotstrings expand abbreviations into full text, but they can trigger any action you can script. Setup options: AutoHotkey's setup process includes options galore.
Best of all, AutoHotkey is open source freeware. You can also write macros or use the app's macro recorder. AutoHotkey automates keystrokes and mouse clicks to more efficiently handle repetitive tasks, like clicking through screens or entering your street address.
