A guide to PC automation

The PC software i'm going to talk about today is no ordinary one.Its potentials are beyond imaginations and is only limited by the creativity of its users.You can create custom shortcuts to run any programs on your computer,replace text with a smiley as you type them,and many other tricks.

is a free, open-source utility for Windows. With it, 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.Then you can use them without even touching your keyboard and mouse.
  • Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.This might be useful in case if you have a broken key in your keyboard,or if your laptop lacks a numeric keypad.
  • 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,THE BEST PART.

Some of my favorite Autohotkey scripts are mentioned on this awesome blog Lifehacker
