I've done plenty of searching about this topic and have tried out stuff like ControllerMate, Keyboard Maestro, and Alias Keys but I am just not sure if these can do everything that I want.
One big thing that I need is the ability to combine any two keyboard inputs to send another input (Not just being able to combine shift, ctrl, or option plus a keyboard input).
For example, one of things that I am dying without is the ability to delete the previous word by pressing delete and = at the same time.
In autohotkey this would basically be done like this (this is the summary of what the code would do):
When Delete and = are pressed together, send the input of ctrl, shift, and left together (to highlight the previous word), wait 100 milliseconds (to give it a split second to highlight it), then send the input of delete (to delete it). That way instead of waiting 3 seconds to delete a word character by character it would be done instantly, and very naturally as all I do is move my ring finger right next to delete.
If there is some Mac software that has this capability to have any combination of keyboard inputs send any other combination, in addition to being able to open applications and folders by custom keyboard combinations, I am willing to pay for it; please direct me!
Oh and one more thing it should hopefully be able to do is minimize all open windows with a keyboard shortcut, and then restore them with another shortcut. I don't understand why it's such a pain in the *** to get to your desktop with a Mac, having to minimize everything one by one just to access your desktop documents.
Thanks!
