Autohotkey

I´am back. I finished moving to my new apartment and can again write articles for you. Autohotkey is a nice little freeware application that has many purposes. Take a look at its features:

#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.
