A Screen Macro Recorder For Linux – ATBSWP

Background

Ok so I had a situation where I needed to perform a repetitive task (like deleting a bunch of bogus library object referrals on a system with some corruption. I was not able to use a bulk tool, but rather had to use the GUI to perform the task over 1130 objects! Who the F*ck has time for that?!?! Enter ATBSWP to the rescue.

Solution

The ATBSWP project is available on github and can be easily installed on just about any Linux variant. Click here to visit the project. Installation on a debian based systems is pretty straight forward:

sudo apt install git python3-dev python3-tk python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0
git clone https://github.com/RMPR/atbswp.git && cd atbswp
python3 -m pip install pyautogui pynput --user
python3 atbswp/atbswp.py

There are some configurable options for this tool which makes it quite useful in a situation like this:
