AKH for Dummies

This was inspired by Keyboard Maestro, which is used to automate keyboard and mouse strokes. It is easy to use because it is drag-and-drop. While I am normally not a big fan of drag-and-drop programming languages, these kinds of automation software are meant to decrease work, not increase it. The disadvantages of using a drag-and-drop based programming language is negligible for very short scripts.

However, Keyboard Maestro is not available on Windows (and also is not free). AutoHotkey is available on Windows, and is much more developed and has a larger community and userbase.

I combined the two by creating a graphic-user interface for AHK, which generates AHK code.

As with most of my programs, it’s designed for utility, not fancy looks.
