Autocorrector

❓ What is it?

Autocorrector is a tool similar to Autokey or AutoHotKey, but targeted mainly at word replacements. I wrote it because all I wanted to do was fix my fat-finger typos automatically. That is what autocorrector aims to do.

Autocorrector reads a TOML configuration file of key-values; the key being the typo and the value being the replacement. When it detects you have entered a typo, it helpfully corrects it.

The following Go libraries and tools made autocorrector infinitely easier:

• gokbd: library using libevdev to talk to a keyboard on Linux. It allows snooping the keys pressed as well as typing out keys.
• fyne: UI toolkit and system tray library.
• zerolog: logging library.
• Cobra: command-line interface.
