2025-04-15Isn't it annoying when almost identical apps use different key combinations to achieve the same outcome? Even worse, don't you hate it when a piece of software insists on using obscure keyboard shortcuts without offering an option to remap them? Wouldn't it be great to have absolute control over how your keyboard functions in every application? Well, that's possible, thanks to AutoHotkey. With AutoHotkey, you can remap your whole keyboard or create custom shortcuts, both "globally" and for each application individually. If you wish, you can even have custom strings of text—or even whole templates—for each app bound to the same key combinations. You only need AutoHotkey and a text editor—even Notepad will do. Sounds interesting? Then let's hop right in. Getting Started With Windows Spy in AutoHotKey Nowadays, many keyboards come with software for creating custom shortcuts and macros. However, as we will see, AutoHotkey is more versatile since it's keyboard-agnostic. With it, your "keyboard customizations" won't be tied to a particular keyboard. You'll be able to take your customization script to other computers and have your custom app shortcuts and shortcodes up and running in no time. Since in this article we're hitting the ground running, if you'd like a proper introduction to AutoHotkey, check our quick AutoHotkey Guide for Beginners. Start by downloading AutoHotkey from its official site. Then, install it like any other app. You don't have to run it afterward. It springs into action automatically when you run a script made for it. So, let's create such a script. With AutoHotkey installed, right-click anywhere, on your desktop or inside a folder where you want to create your script. Choose New > AutoHotkey Script. Give your script-to-be a name and press Enter. With AutoHotkey, you can create "global" shortcuts that will be active everywhere or app-specific ones that will work only inside an active application's window. To "target" a specific application, you must identify it in your script. AutoHotkey can help with that through its Window Spy. Double-click on your currently blank script to run it, and with it, AutoHotkey. Right-click on AutoHotkey's icon on the Windows tray, and choose Window Spy from the menu that pops up. To find the identifiers needed to target an application, leave Window Spy on your screen, and click on your app's window. Then, notice the ahk_class, ahk_exe, and ahk_pid entries, at the top of Window Spy's window. In our case, we wanted to target the popular Obsidian note-taking application. Since other software could have a similar ahk_class and ahk_pid, we used its executable file as our target, using ahk_exe Obsidian.exe, as mentioned in Window Spy. When you know your target, it's time to script. Time to Make a Script
2025-04-10Take a quick look at our recent post explaining What Are Character Encodings and How They Differ. Getting The Script: Saving a File Some scripts go on for more than just a few lines; these are often offered as files rather than pasted in-page. We recently posted one of these larger scripts under How to Get Spelling Autocorrect Across All Applications on Your System, so that's what we'll use for the example. Right-click the link to the AHK file and select to save it locally: Again, make sure you save it as an AHK file. Running The Script You should now have an AHK file somewhere on your system, and AutoHotkey all set up. Simply double-click the AHK file to run it. When the script is running, you should see a small icon in your system tray. Hovering over this icon with your mouse will pop up a tooltip showing the name of the script. AutoHotkey and AutoHotkey_L use slightly different icons. If Your Script Doesn't Work Most scripts work right off the bat. However, if your script won't run and pops up an error message, go back to the AutoHotkey download page and get "AutoHotkey Basic" (the second option). Uninstall AutoHotkey_L, Install AutoHotkey Basic and try running the script again. You can also go back to "Saving a Snippet" and try saving the script with a different character encoding. Exiting the Script When you're done working with a script, right-click its system tray icon and select Exit.
