            Autokey Encryption
            Asked 2022-Mar-13 at 18:02

            I am working on a project to write to and read from a TP Link / Kaza power strip or smart plug.

            The data that is sent is encrypted json that has been "autokey encrypted".

            So far I have been able to convert a typescript encrypt function and it works well. I get the expected result. However, I need to add a "header" to my encrypted data. That data is 3 null bytes followed by a byte that is a measure of the length of the encrypted bytes.

            The typescript example has this bit of code to "encrypt with headers", however, I've hit a bit of a wall trying to convert it to something usable. Can someone nudge me along the path ?

            First are the two typescript functions: (borrowed from https://github.com/plasticrake/tplink-smarthome-crypto/blob/master/src/index.ts)

            It looks like the encryption is fairly simple: write the current character XORed with the key to the buffer and make that newly written character the new key. It also looks like the "withHeaders" version adds the length of the encrypted string as a 4 byte integer to the start of the buffer. I think it might be easier to allocate a character array and pass that array to a function that writes the result to that buffer. For example:

            How to toggle Autokey phrases?
            Asked 2021-Oct-10 at 15:29

            I want to remap wasd to arrow keys, but then be able to use a hotkey to toggle these (four) phrases so I can go back to wasd behaviour easily. Just putting a window filter on the phrase will not be sufficient. The only ways I can see to do this is to write bash scripts to directly modify the contents of my phrase files, which is obviously a very dirty solution. I am surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to toggle phrases on and off similar to how you can toggle AutoHotkey scripts on Windows. Is there a more sophisticated way of doing this than to use bash scripts to directly overwrite the contents of the .txt files associated with my phrases?

            I am okay with solutions that fix my problems but do not use Autokey too, as long as they work on Ubuntu 20.04

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Oct-10 at 15:29

            I managed to write a fix by writing a bash script that checks if autokey is currently open, if so it closes it, else it starts it, then I made a keyboard shortcut to this bash script. Closing autokey disables the phrases. It's not a clean solution, since this only allows me to toggle all of my Autokey phrases at once, but it works for my current use case. Hopefully this can be useful to someone else as well.

            The API does not however provide a way of mapping strings to a sequence of keypresses. That you will have to implement yourself or alternatively, if you want us to help, describe how you would like the strings to be mapped to keypresses.

            Running one Autokey script from another Autokey script?
            Asked 2020-Dec-05 at 05:59

            Right now I've got two Autokey scripts (for modularity), one that opens a file, and one that puts text in it.

            The one that opens the file has hotkey F1 (and we'll call this script 1 for simplicity), and the one that puts text in it has hotkey F2. I want a new Autokey script, that when I hit F3, it runs both the 1 script and the 2 script.

            I've tried making the 3 script just send the F1 and F2 keys, but the timing is all off. It would be better if I could just call 1 and 2 from 3. Is this possible?

            TL;DR: Not directly with our API.

            The AutoKey API talks directly to the current active window. So, sending events targeted at the desktop (DTE) will only work if the current active window recognizes them as such and either forwards them to the DTE or emulates what they do.

            However, since AutoKey scripts are written in full Python 3, if you can figure out how to do it yourself in Python, AutoKey can run it for you. And, if some other solution is available, you can run it from within an AutoKey script using the subprocess module.

            Install autokey

            You can install using 'pip install autokey' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.
            You can use autokey like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
