AutoHotkey is a free, open-source utility for Windows. With it, you can:
Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Macros.htm) by hand or use the macro recorder.
Create hotkeys (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm) for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.
Expand abbreviations (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotstrings.htm) as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way".
Create custom data-entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. See GUI (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Gui.htm) for details.
Remap (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm) keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC client script (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts/WinLIRC.htm).
Run existing AutoIt v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/AutoIt2Users.htm).
Convert any script into an EXE file (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm#ahk2exe) that can be run on computers that don't have AutoHotkey installed. Getting started might be easier than you think. Check out the quick-start tutorial (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm).
