You can use Autokey. You can find it in the Ubuntu Software Centre.

    Is Autohotkey officially available for Ubuntu? – Nived Kannada Apr 14 '15 at 05:07
  • I've searched it in Ubuntu software center. But it says no results found. i've searched so many similar keywords but nothing that I want. I want to make shortcut keys just as I can do in Windows, in autohotkey software. http://www.autohotkey.com/ And also I just want something like that. Alternatives are also enough. But it should have the qualities of Autohotkey – Nived Kannada Apr 14 '15 at 05:09

    The Ubuntu source package is autokey which contains the binary packages autokey-gtk, autokey-qt and autokey-common. To install it in Ubuntu you want to run sudo apt install autokey-gtk or sudo apt install autokey-qt. autokey-qt is only available up to and including Ubuntu 16.04, after that only autokey-gtk is available. – gene_wood Jan 16 '19 at 18:59
  • The packages autohotkey-gtk and autohotkey-qt do not exist in the Ubuntu repositories (in Ubuntu 23.04) and do not exist in the Snap store. – Flimm May 26 '23 at 14:07
  • The linked project is out of date. The latest release is from 2012. – Flimm May 26 '23 at 14:08
