AutoHotkey Community

Been tearing my hair out because I use a lot of the keyboard shortcuts in AHK on WinXP.
Searched for a Mac equivalent but nothing

Then after a bit of more searching I found Typinator. It isn't exactly like AHK but does AutoCorrect of spelling and shortcuts.
Hope this helps someone else in case you were struggling to find something whilst using Mac. Downside is you have to buy the app.
I had tried RapidoWrite (you have to search for the last free version) but your shortest keyboard shortcut had to be at least three characters. The program writers (app4mac.com) told me that they have updated it and the new one is now called Presto (which you also have to buy).
I like Typinator over Presto because Presto shows all results listed when you type a certain shortcut and you have to scroll down with the arrow keys and press enter to get it.
Typinator does similar things like : ?*:url::http://www.autohotkey.com and :*:lnk::http://www.google.com/

Hope this helps a little bit

Thanks for sharing this. Nevertheless, your thread belongs to another section of the forum: AfH --> Utilities & Resources

no download link was provided - hence moved this topic to General Chat

Oops - just posted really quickly so wasn't sure if posting a link was okay.
Typinator: http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/
Presto: http://www.app4mac.com/store/index.php?target=products&product_id=17 and you will have to search for RapidoWrite as it is no longer available on app4mac site as freeware.
I can send freeware file if PM me.

Mac OS X comes with Automator. And even before Automator, there was Apple Script. But with Automator, you can either record events using a recorder, which makes life a lot easier, or you can use the GUI based tool to generate macros based on smaller tasks.

Doesn't IronAHk work?
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic54494.html

None of the download links on http://www.ironahk.net/ are working anymore. I would really like to get a copy of the OS X Bundle if anyone knows where I could download it. Even if its not being supported/developed anymore. Can anyone provide a working download link or possibly post theirs somewhere?

You're going to need the source and a copy of monodevelop.
https://github.com/polyethene/IronAHK
Mono.com

I don't know of any mac binaries but they might be in there.
