Amazing and great video. Thank you Both! What I've missed a lot is indexing of this video, as it is fairly long. So I did such index by myself:

Thanks Chad and Joe,
Just installed AHK Studio and I love it!

[submeg]

UNBELIEVABLE. This is insane. Chad is a wizard; Studio is so customisable, no WONDER you are pushing hard to get people to use it. Thanks so much for this session Joe, this is great!

[ravedad]

that is fucking amazing. I am fucking amazed.

Hi Joe,

First, I want to thank you for making this video. I have been an on/off programmer/repair technician for the better part of 15 years. Unfortunately, as I get older my memory is starting to fade and I have a harder time programming. Not to mention I have Cubital tunnel syndrome in my wrists. That being said, I noticed the context menu that you created. I have been trying to create one with minimal success. It's very inconsistent and frustrating. I was hoping that maybe you can give me some pointers or maybe a blank/Non-blank copy of the AHK context menu that you have? I am looking to make my job easier. I work IT and have designed GUI interfaces to help me but they take up to much real-estate.

Second, is there a list of Shortcut keys for AHK Studio that you know of? Thanks in advance.

Phil

What's the difference between a breakpoint and a bookmark?

[trueverdicts]

Joe, I wanted to know your opinion because you know so many languages and what not. I want to learn a programming language, to make applications to automate. Which do you suggest? I know autohotkey is amazing but I want better GUI, because ahk's GUI has a lot of limitations. Or are conventional programming languages not suitable for macroing and I have to integrate it with authotkey?
