0:00 Intro
I used AutoHotkey as a professional online poker player (= play more tables and thereby earn more money). This video teaches you to get started with AutoHotkey.

0:59 Download and Install AutoHotkey

2:07 Hotstring
A Hotstring in AutoHotkey is used to do auto-correction. The main properties are case-insensitive, and if it should trigger by end characters.

6:28 Hotkey
A Hotkey in AHK can be seen as a shortcut key. We define a key or a series of keys that one action or a sequence of actions launches when we press them. For example, use the "send" to send strings to UI elements. Use the "run" to open applications and browsers.

10:40 AutoHotkey & Gaming
AutoHotkey is used by many gamers, and here we create a Rapid Fire Script using a loop. Use a "sleep" to add a delay between keystrokes (e.g., for a farming game).

Hi Anders! It delights me seeing that you are posting autohotkey videos again! I love AHK and some of the first videos I watched were your tutorials! I really hope you make more videos. I have been following your YT business journey, and I really think you should make more AHK courses. AHKs popularity is increasing and I know a lot of people that would happily pay. The niche is basically uncontested (except Joe Glines) so it might be a perfect opportunity to gain views and make a buck. I sure would buy it if you make something else than a beginners tutorial, perhaps COMs, web interaction with chrome, RegEx and more. I really hope the AHK videos keep coming :))

I believe Autohotkey is one of the greatest gem available free for beginners Automation in windows, Please make more fundamental use cases with examples..!!

[Oxxygen_io]

Loving Automation from my terminal in MacOS and Linux (DevOps). I have to say this is an absolute gem for windows automation. They have a script tool now. I wonder if it's not possible to integrate the two and get really creative. (Power automate Desktop, is what I'm referring to.)

❓ Is there a way to start a short Flow when I press (shutdown)?
Like:
- Turn OFF Bluetooth before shutting down.
- Mute audio before shutting down.

[Jack.Berger]

When I use this code, it only sends an x once.
Even if I only use the first line, no hold is possible, but every tutorial says this is the correct code..
Send, {x down}
sleep, 3000
send, {x up}
