usage

  • set this script to run from a hotkey in Autokey
  • click on an .exe program in your file browser
  • press the hotkey to have it run in Wine

if you want to run an AutoHotkey script then add the full AutoHotkey.exe path to the ahk_path variable

normally you can only run programs that are somewhere in Wine's drive_c folder but with this script you can also run from the following native Linux folders and the paths will be swapped out so it runs the files in Wine's corresponding folders

/home/USER/Desktop
/home/USER/Documents
/home/USER/Pictures
/home/USER/Music
/home/USER/Videos
