The code is sometimes written in a bit of a funky way, but lots of comments (some funny) are made to help learn or understand it. AHK ScriptWriter can do many of the same things, but does have some differences and improvements, to include helper scripts and is fully customizable in AutoHotKey. To get an ideal of the macro recorder AutoScriptWriter II, check out this old YouTube video. Don't know if it will have any issues with the newer version. It was working with AutoHotkey version 1.1.22.02. It was never quite completed, but good at starting off writing scripts or making little useful scripts for doing things on the computer.ĪHK ScriptWriter is somewhat like AutoScriptWriter II, but in AutoHotKey. While cleaning out my old computer, I came back upon it, and thought it would be interesting to post it. I was playing with it over a year and a half ago, to make various small scripts, and had almost forgotten about it. Verdict:Ī powerful tool with many uses - even relatively inexperienced users will find the macro recorder a useful way to automate a repetitive series of clicks or keystrokes.This partially comes from the old website, and I was playing with a macro recorder created by AHKnow. We’ve found it’s more effective to record keystrokes rather than rely on mouse clicks as these are based on the mouse’s position on the screen, which means they won’t work if a dialogue box or program window is resized or moved. Scripting for most of these is done by hand in AutoHotkey’s editor, but mouse and keystrokes can also be recorded using the supplied macro recorder (AutoScriptWriter), just like in Office. It can also be used as an auto-text tool, to create customised entry forms, dialogue boxes and menu bars, and remap keys and buttons on mice and joysticks for good measure. This allows you to create scripts that can automate not just common commands like launching programs, but also mouse clicks and keystrokes. The only problem with macros is that they’re limited to Office, so what can you do if you’d like to extend this functionality to another program – or across Windows as a whole? The solution lies a program called AutoHotkey. Anyone who’s taken advantage of their office application’s macro function will realise just how useful a tool it is: suddenly, instead of having to perform several repetitive tasks or mouse clicks over and over again, you can record those keystrokes or mouse clicks, then “play” them back with a single click or keystroke, saving you time and effort in the process.
