When I played the video games, I always set up a lot of hot keys to ensure that my hand moving could be as fast as possible.

What is Autohotkey? Automation. Hotkeys. Scripting.

It is a open source script language which could help you to set up the hot keys to accelerate your working and improve the productivity.

I searched from the website and found a lot of books to learn. I will follow up the steps to create my auothotkey.

First, let’s see the real example to realize the first success.

1. Find your link where the AHK is saved

     C:\01_Flat\Program Files (x86)\AutoHotkey

2. Create one notepad and write down the script
