PROGRAM_NAME: AutoHotkey
VERSION: 1.0.47.06
RELEASE_DATE: 39516
HOMEPAGE: http://www.autohotkey.com
DOWNLOAD: http://www.autohotkey.com/download/AutoHotkeyInstall.exe
WINDOWS_OS: Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2000/2003/XP/Vista
OTHER_OS:
DESCRIPTION: AutoHotkey has four primary features: 1) automating
repetitive tasks by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks (you can write
such macros by hand or use the macro recorder); 2) creating hotkeys for
keyboard, mouse, joystick, and handheld remote controls (virtually any
key, button, or combination can become a hotkey); 3) expanding
abbreviations as you type them (for example, typing "btw" can
automatically produce "by the way"); and 4) creating custom data entry
forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. AutoHotkey's secondary features
include changing soundcard settings (like volume or mute); using a
joystick or keyboard as a mouse; remapping keys; launching
programs/documents; making any window transparent, always-on-top, or
altering its shape; manipulating the clipboard; customizing the tray
menu's icon and menu items; displaying dialog boxes to interact with the
user; running existing AutoIt v2 scripts; and converting any script into
an EXE file that can be run on any computer.

languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-
contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no
annoying "runtimes" required!
