Keysharp

https://github.com/keysharp-org/Keysharp

Keysharp is a cross-platform C# implementation of AutoHotkey v2. It parses AutoHotkey-style scripts, compiles them through .NET, and runs them on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Status: under active development and not yet recommended for production. Windows has the broadest compatibility; Linux and macOS support continues to improve.

Most scripts run unmodified on Windows. Across platforms, anything using DllCall, COM, or the registry will not work on Linux and macOS.

Watch the Keysharp demos

See the demos folder for example scripts showcasing Keysharp's cross-platform image, overlay, OCR, input and window-management APIs.

1. Install Keysharp for your platform
2. Create a script named hello.ks:

   MsgBox("Hello from Keysharp!")

3. Double-click it, or run it from a terminal:

   keysharp hello.ks

Keysharp runs .ahk/.ks source scripts and .cks compiled scripts. It also ships Keyview, a lightweight editor with live validation, running, and .cks compilation — open it without a file for an autosaved scratchpad.

For per-platform setup, permissions, portable/standalone runs, command-line switches, and building from source, see the detailed reference.

"Full" means the feature is generally usable; "Partial" means known gaps remain.
