The best free keyboard shortcut utility, and so much more
I was searching for a free app to create gobal keyboard shortcuts, and I found AutoHotKey. I’ve been testing it out, and I love it! It’s great! It’ll require a bit of a learning curve, but once you understand the ‘ini’ file that sets up the shortcuts, you’re golden.
One of the great features I love about AutoHotkey is that it lets you use the Windows key for your shortcuts. Simple enough, but many of the shortcut programs I looked at before wouldn’t let you do that. The other thing I loved about it is that it lets you activate a program if it’s already open (maximize and set focus), or launch the program if it’s not open yet. Very cool.
Check it out…there are so many more features that I haven’t described or even looked at yet.
