What is it?
* Free & open source (GNU General Public License).
* A keyboard, joystick, and mouse remapper.
* A word recognition engine that expands abbreviations as you type them (auto-replace).
* A simple yet powerful hotkey (shortcut key) scripting language for Windows, supporting both mouse and keyboard macros (if you're new to scripting, it might be easier than you think; check out the quick-start tutorial).
* A regular scripting language (backward compatible with most existing AutoIt2 scripts). The program includes a script compiler that converts a script to an EXE. It also includes AutoScriptWriter, a macro recorder written by Larry Keys.
Who might benefit?
* Users who have an interest in creating hotkeys that:
o aren't limited to only those combinations allowed by Windows;
o are more flexible and capable of greater complexity than those of most other hotkey apps;
o are more responsive (take effect more quickly) than standard Windows hotkeys.
* Anyone concerned about, or already suffering from Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). For example, the mouse wheel can be used as an entire substitute for Alt-Tab.
* AutoIt2 users who:
o aren't ready to completely switch over to AutoIt v3;
o want an open source alternative to AutoIt2 that retains backward compatibility while offering enhanced syntax;
o want to enhance existing AutoIt2 scripts with new commands and features;
o want better hotkey performance, since the overhead of launching a new script for each hotkey is avoided and since scripts are semi-compiled.
* AutoIt3 users who want more hotkey power and flexibility, such as mouse & joystick hotkeys, unrestricted single-letter hotkeys, and custom hotkeys that are a combination of any two keys/mouse buttons.
Take complete control of your keyboard, joystick, and mouse: AutoHotkey has far better hotkey support than Windows provides (and is more responsive too). It's also more powerful than most commercially available hotkey apps. For example: The built-in Windows shortcut keys such as Win+E and Win+R can be overridden or disabled. Also, any two keys and/or mouse buttons can be combined to become a hotkey.
