AutoRobot is an open-source macro-creation and automation application for Mac/Windows, inspired by AutoHotkey and powered by Node.js/Javascript and Electron shell.
- Automate basically everything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks.
- Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard.
- Create hotkeys for your keyboard.
- Expand abbreviations inline, as you type them.
- Retrieve and change clipboard contents
- Power your script with npm packages
Hotkeys are defined with the function Hotkey that accepts a string and a callback. In the provided example below we will launch Spotify when the Alt key and 8 is pressed simultaneously.
Hotkey('Alt 8', () => {
let spotify = {
name: 'Spotify',
path: '/Applications/Spotify.app',
isHidden: true //Hidden on launch, only works on Mac atm
}
program.launch(spotify);
});Hotstrings are defined with the function Hotstring which accepts two strings for its parameters. In the provided example below we will type out the current date when the user writes 'ddate'
Hotstring('ddate', new Date().toString());The ddate will be erased by default, which can be overridden. Please see the full API for additional information.
Each script is a plain .txt or .js file with Javascript. A plain Javascript file will run upon execution, but some blocks may be defined to run only when some event occurs, such as a keystroke or hotkeypress.
Before executing the scripts they're evaluated with UglifyJS. If the scripts pass the evaluation they will be parsed to ES5 Javascript (Which means you can write Javascript/Node.js with ES6+) and they're executed with the use of safe-eval. Any syntax error found before execution must be fixed before the script can run.
