I use my Windows machine to develop personal hobby projects as well as for a bunch of different multiplayer games, most of which have an anti-cheat that considers AHK as a macro application which can be a bannable offense.

Does anyone know if there exists any hotkey daemons similar to sxhkd / skhd for Windows?

https://github.com/HikariKnight/hotkeyD looks like a solid alternative to AHK for handling keybindings. You could use this in combination with a PowerShell script which calls the komorebic configuration commands that only run once and never have to have AHK running at all!

Another option: you can use kmonad to bind keys to execute commands

https://github.com/gladiator/komorebik Somebody recently shared this on the Discord. It's a great starting point for anyone who would like to write their own hotkey handler!
