My suggestion is to add a command set to AutoHotKey so the screen can be monitored for a specific graphic pattern to automate testing, game play, and various types of monitoring where an audible alarm and/or mouse click could be triggered by changing graphics on the screen.

For example, a user defined rectangle could be drawn over an area on the screen to define a pixel pattern, and saved for later use as screen search criteria. Then, a screen search command could be used to watch for an occurence of that pixel pattern. When the pixel pattern is found, an option to apply a mouse click to the area would be a handy feature; and of course, it should also return the x and y coordinates of the pixel pattern that was found.

This functionality would really set AutoHotKey apart from most other macro utilities, and it would fill the need I have for that functionality in several different macro scripts.

You basically just described this command without knowing what it is: ImageSearch. Use PrintScreen to get the images to search for, then use ImageSearch to find them.
