solved Good AutoHotKey Linux alternative

[JoshQM]

I just recently made the switch to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I have a TKL keyboard. While I had windows I made an AHK script that made it so when I held left ctrl and used my arrow keys they acted as media keys. I was wondering what I should do to get that functionality back.

On most Linux distributions you can natively rebind keys and combinations to do whatever you want. Go to Menu → Applications → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts and make a custom shortcut or rebind whatever the current media keys are. You can have custom shortcuts launch any program or script if you need to.

Thank you so much! I was able to set it up exactly how I had it on windows.

Mark the topic as solved then

Also checkout `xcape` (https://github.com/alols/xcape) if you want something more advanced such as taping at ESC and hold as control for the CapsLock key.
