I'm kinda new to bash, when I was still on Windows I used Autohotkey to automate shit.
For example, I had a script that if I pressed CTL + 1, it would push the F5 key every 5 seconds, and if I pressed CTRL + 2 it would stop.
Can that be done in bash? Or would I need to use python?
Can bash be used for stuff like this?
