Oh…

Crazy chain of events! So what are you doing now?

Did you put in a request for this? And sure, I’m always interested in seeing how others use it—especially to complex levels.

Whoa, yeah, F-Droid is perhaps the biggest FOSS Android app market, an alternative to the Play Store. I suggest navigating through it using Droid-ify. Enable visibility of all repositories in the top-right corner to be able to see more apps. Even Bitwarden has an official presence in F-Droid to accommodate Play Store avoiders, etc.

Oh. In that case, I just use Syncthing for now, since I only have 3-4 devices.

Its .YML formatting is really clunky. It feels like it takes up twice as much line space as .AHK (for example), which can do a lot of this kind of stuff in a single line. But I wanna go cross-platform and this is all I can find…

If you’re an Android user: scroll through F-Droid, download interesting apps, and then hunt for problems or try to come up with interesting, helpful features. For example, I could really use a live stopwatch widget in: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

Google Clock has it, but this app doesn’t for some reason.

MuseScore Studio can open .XML and .MXL files, if that’s what you mean.

Or to be specific as of late, “MuseScore Studio.” There have been… a lot of company changes over the past 2 years…

Intereating, this? Never heard of it before: https://drummyfish.itch.io/anarch

Yes, that’s a good one. I also have Espanso set to autotype bank account numbers, my driver’s license (with or without dashes), license plate, and more; prefill a Reddit search URL from scratch, etc.

Wow, fascinating!!! I don’t know how I couldn’t find any tool like this! Thanks, this may be a game changer!

AutoHotkey, it’s navigation through programs by hotkey-invoked series of smart, self-changing mouse clicks and keystrokes, though it can also do math and launch programs or put the focus on windows in specific ways. For example, I have a dynamic, template-based, weekly, ~60-slide PowerPoint builder whose clicks and keystrokes change across the screen depending on what the content is. One AHK GUI I built lets you specify how to proceed using a base template I made + a spreadsheet with data from week to week.

I also have a URL-cleaning script that deletes all my known trackers when pasting, does URL-decoding, etc. AHK can even check for images on screen and click them or wait to proceed (like wait for the browser to finish loading before taking action, etc.). I’ve got a bunch of various scripts and have not found any cross-platform tool as remotely as easy + capable.

However, thanks to your post and another Lemmy denizen, I now know of SikuliX! I’ll check that out…

I’ve been wanting to try to leave Windows for Linux, but I just can’t find a replacement for AutoHotkey that can do everything that it can. It would have to be some kind of weird combination of various Python libraries, AutoKey, and Espanso, and even then it’s either not as easy or downright convoluted at best.

I also can’t find any FOSS image editor that can do this.

Android is open-source, I thought.

US Mobile is a self-proclaimed “supercarrier” which offers SIMs across all major networks (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), so you can change as you like according to your phone’s compatibility. However, the CEO (who is active on /r/usmobile) has been known to kick existing customer loyalty to the curb in favor of new members, and their customer service centers are in Pakistan, where he’s from.

These may or may not be good or bad things depending on your threat model, but one thing’s for sure: their price is unbeatable! Come to think of it, I have a referral link for anyone who may be interested, but that’s up to you. I actually dislike the CEO’s practices, but I’m already locked in for a year and didn’t know until later…

Your Android device doesn’t have a personal dictionary section in the Language & Input page? What phone do you have? Yeah, keeping it offline is probably fine, but I’m just surprised since this has been a thing for at least 7 Android versions now, as far as I know.

By the way, HeliBoard (an offline fork of the now-defunct OpenBoard) seems to have its own private, built-in personal dictionary; I migrated to that since finding out.

Ha, I just made !espanso@programming.dev recently!

Why do you use a separate Android app with all of those hostile permissions instead of the built-in personal dictionary and its shortcuts? I have thousands of shorthand lines in Android’s personal dictionary, like wdyl = what do you like (type the first part and the second part appears in the autocorrect pane for you to touch if you want).
