Download the AutoHotKey installer and activate the installer (~ 3.3mb -setup file) by accepting the “Express Installation” option. Open AutoHotKey by accepting to “View the Tutorial”, and follow its “Tutorial (Quick Start)” section (b.) – a section that leads one to create, in Notepad, a file, to be saved with the extension .ahk on your desktop. Take some to read this very informative section – taking care to implement the contents of section (c.) - “Multiple hotkeys/hotstrings per file” for a grounded understanding of how a .ahk script works.
Note: Of the first four lines of a new .ahk file are to be preserved – these lines contain the following:
| AHK Intro Introduction to AutoHotKey |
AHK tips For quick adoption |
| AHK Editing Getting under the hood |
AHK Extras Bonus functions |
