Autohotkey

[Transcender]

Have any of you guys played around with AutoHotKey (freeware)? If so, what are your most common applications/scripts/macros for Renoise and other music software? I’m just curious.

I recently discovered the software, so I haven’t yet created any cool macros myself. But I see a lot of potential, since AutoHotKey can automate many time-consuming manual tasks, especially when one considers mouse-clicks:

Mouse Clicks: To send a mouse click to a window it is first necessary to determine the X and Y coordinates where the click should occur. This can be done with either AutoScriptWriter or Window Spy, which are included with AutoHotkey. The following steps apply to the Window Spy method:

Launch Window Spy from the program’s tray-icon menu or the Start Menu.
Activate the window of interest either by clicking its title bar, alt-tabbing, or other means (Window Spy will stay “always on top” by design).
Move the mouse cursor to the desired position in the target window and write down the mouse coordinates displayed by Window Spy (or press Shift-Alt-Tab to activate Window Spy so that the “frozen” coordinates can be copied and pasted).
Apply the coordinates discovered above to the Click command. The following example clicks the left mouse button:
Click 112, 223
