I'm sure you're familiar with keyboard shortcuts. But how about creating shortcuts that work in any Windows application. AutoHotkey (AHK) is the answer to your customization needs. With AutoHotkey you can create your own shortcuts that apply to all your applications on your computer. If you've never used AutoHotkey, don't worry. In this tutorial I show you how you can install AutoHotkey and take you through a beginner tutorial to help you get started fast.

Not only can you create custom shortcuts but you can even automate repetitive tasks. Like if there is a specific text, address or insert special characters. In this video I'll show you how you can create your hotkeys and how to make HotStrings for autocorrection and text expansion. This is great for canned email responses or other text templates.

AutoHotkey gives you the freedom to automate any desktop task for major productivity improvement. It could be as complex as automatically creating multiple folder structures or as simple as creating a shortcut for your email address so you don't have to type it in every time.
The most common use of AutHotKey is for text expansion.
