AutoHotkey is this really neat program that enables you to use hotkeys for whatever you like. Things like opening a new program, resizing, or moving windows, ... This can be scripted using plain old notepad and a lot of knowledge what you're doing, or with a Macro Recorder.
-
You create a script (you can use the online documentation for that). Some advantages:
- You can run multiple hotkey files at once!
Say you are using a batch of special hotkeys for windows. but then you decide to start working with, let's say Word. You simply load up the hotkey-file for word, and you're good to go!
- Convert your hotkeys to programs
Share your hotkeys with people who don't have AHK installed. AHK has the ability to convert scripts to exe's.
- scripting with variables
By using scripts, AHK has the ability to use variables.This enhances customization.
Conclusion:
Writing your first program will most definatly take a lot of time to search and write, unless you are using a Macro Recorder, but it saves you much time on the long run.
