AutoHotkey 1.1.09.04

Automation. Hotkeys. Scripting.  
Customize your keyboard, joystick, and mouse with an open source scripting language (AutoHotkey) that is backward compatible with AutoIt v2. AutoHotkey it includes a quick-start tutorial, an automatic script writer (macro recorder) that records your keystrokes and mouse clicks, and a comprehensive help file.

Automate almost anything: Send keystrokes & mouse clicks; launch programs / documents; work with the clipboard, registry, & soundcard settings. In addition to its automation features described below, AutoHotkey excels at hotkeys, able to make virtually *any* mouse/joystick button, keyboard key, or combination into a hotkey.

AutoHotkey it can also individually disable or override Windows' own shortcut keys, such as Win+E and Win+R. It may also help alleviate RSI; for example, it can create substitutes for Alt-Tab using keys, mouse wheel, or buttons.

With AutoHotkey, you can:
· Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand or use the macro recorder.
· Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.
· Expand abbreviations as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way".
· Create custom data entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. See GUI for details.
· Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
· Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC client script.
· Run existing AutoIt v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities.
· Convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on computers that don't have AutoHotkey installed.

Here are some key features of "AutoHotkey":
· Change the volume, mute, and other settings of any soundcard.
· Make any window transparent, always-on-top, or alter its shape.
· Use a joystick or keyboard as a mouse.
· Monitor your system. For example, close unwanted windows the moment they appear.
· Retrieve and change the clipboard's contents, including file names copied from an Explorer window.
· Disable or override Windows' own shortcut keys such as Win+E and Win+R.
· Alleviate RSI with substitutes for Alt-Tab (using keys, mouse wheel, or buttons).
· Customize the tray icon menu with your own icon, tooltip, menu items, and submenus.
· Display dialog boxes, tooltips, balloon tips, and popup menus to interact with the user.
· Perform scripted actions in response to system shutdown or logoff.
· Detect how long the user has been idle. For example, run CPU intensive tasks only when the user is away.
· Automate game actions by detecting images and pixel colors (this is intended for legitimate uses such as the alleviation of RSI).
· Read, write, and parse text files more easily than in other languages.
· Perform operation(s) upon a set of files that match a wildcard pattern.
· Work with the registry and INI files.
