KeyboardMaestro is $36, Hammerspoon can do roughly the same and is free. Best part is: there is no pendant in linux, mostly due to the moving target of system configurations and DEs.

What is pendant in this context? I assume it's an autocorrect error but I don't know what should be in its place...
It is the counterpart: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pendant

There is no counterpart for Hammerspoon/KeyboardMaestro for macOS and AutoHotkey for Windows in Linux.

I've never heard that word used this way, thank you!

That said, that makes sense. I don't have experience with AHK or HammerSpoon, but I'd expect this functionality to be very dependent on the display server and overall desktop environment.
