    I literally just automated my daily train seat-ticket online reservation xD With the press of F12, it opens up the website, types in tomorrow's date and the exact time, searches, waits for results, scrolls a bit down, chooses my train, types in my email, my travel card ID, my full name, accepts terms and condition... and for the icing of the cake... it ticks the "I am not a robot" field, and reserves the seat LMAO

    "I really love things like this, where you can invest i little time or money upfront into something and having that thing repay you over and over and over again without any additional effort from you. Whenever you have the opportunity to do something like that, it's almost always worth exploring." Wise Wise Words.
  • I have written a number of AutoHotKey (AHK) scripts that I use daily, all fired up from another AHK script that runs all the time on my PC. This script also corrects a number of typos that I frequently make. It also capitalises all my I's - so when I type "i" it automatically turns it into "I", which also works for I'm, I've, etc. Also, some text strings that I use frequently, such as "y/t", which outputs "YouTube" or "h/w", which outouts "hardware", or w/e (weekend) and when I type "atb", it outputs... All of the Best, Mike.

    I would call the ^ a "caret", I would only call it a "circumflex" when it is on top of a vowel.
  • @ioda006
    really great intro to the ahk syntax, thank you!
  • @Matiocka

    I'm automating stuff related to my job and its ancient database software. The only way to look things up in every one of the 15 branches is by logging in and out every time. I'm setting up loops to look up attributes and generate reports. I still don't know how much time it's going to save me right now since the potential is unimaginable. The person I'm substituting for has been doing the work for 30 years and, for her, just the fact of using a computer is unreal, even if it's poorly designed and clunky. I expect to use this knowledge in other jobs I pick up in the future.
  • Wow, how could i have missed this! I've been typing out unicode Alt key combinations like forever... lol.. when editing jpg binary this is gonna be awesome!
  • @OM4377
    hey there, thanks for the great info. I need to be able to send keystrokes over lan from one pc to another ( ahk on 1 pc to ahk on another)... is it possible? I would be very grateful if any help available.
  • I would be curious to see the script you wrote. Is it available on the AutoHotKey forum?
  • Hi, thanks for the video ..... I have a question, how can I create a script to do the action of sending a message by pressing the space bar? Is that the enter key is far from my shortcuts and the space is more comfortable, greetings
