I am pretty sure this is possible. The program called by Interception Tools can basically do anything (including being stateful), it just reads input events, rewrites it, ignores it, or raises entirely different input events etc. You could probably move your mouse with arrow keys if you wanted to.


I've been able to get AutoHotKey working with almost the same script I use on Windows (had to make a few adjustments because keys were not recognized even though they're exactly the same). The way I got it working is by running it in the same Wine container.

I still prefer a native tool, to be fair, but I haven't been able to Interception to work. It seems a bit too complicated to my liking. Not that AHK is not complicated (it is) but the documentation is superb.


What it would need is some kind of way to define delay. Is that possible? I've tried this with multiple programs, including one where you could script in Python. Never got it to work, sadly.
