Autohotkeys are used to make simple tasks easier for everyone.  What we’ll do here is post scripts and explanations of what they do to make everyones lives a bit simplier.

  1. You’ll need to download the AutoHotkey exe and install it.
  2. Next, you’ll need to find the directory you installed the files into and run AutoHotkey.exe  This will make it so that you can compile scripts you have created.
  3. To create a new script, Right-Click > New > AutoHotkey Script
  4. Once you’ve created your script, you’ll need to compile it by, Right-Clicking on the .ahk file > Compile Script.
  5. Double click on your newly created .exe file and an H icon will popup in your toolbar telling you the script is running.
  6. Done!

    You missed a step after #3.
    You can double-click a script to run/test it before compiling.
