Hi,

This project seems to be dead and full of bugs. What's the best alternative for linux?

PyAutoGUI - it can do more than keyboard/mouse automation.

But PyAutoGUI cant read keystrokes, that's what I am looking for.

https://pypi.org/project/pynput/ It can control and monitor mouse and keyboard. It can also send hotkeys.

There is a bug in pynput. Hotkeys like f1 does not work.

Thank you for pointing that out. Its disappointing to see that supposedly simple and expected things do not work. Stability and reliability is what we need. Well, on the other hand it is for free, so I can't really complain.
