AutoHotkey is a free WIndows utility for automating a wide variety of tasks on the computer. Similar to SharpKeys, users can add custom keyboard shortcuts for launching applications, opening documents, displaying notifications and performing other tasks.
Overview
This software contains instruments for automating almost any action in the system such as working with third party programs and file manipulation. Many players in San Andreas Multiplayer and other video games are using the app for earning rewards while away from the desktop.
It is possible to create complex custom commands for the operating system. Scripts can be written manually or generated with the help of macro registrators. The latter option allows users to save the automation scenario as an EXE file and run the script on any other machine without installing AutoHotkey.
How to use
The main window provides a button for creating a new blank project. Moreover, you can generate templates for future use. Detailed documentation with descriptions for every command and argument is included.
