AutoHotkey Community

[bits]

Hi Guys,

My name is Shobhit Gupta and I am highly influenced by Autohotkey. It has changed the way I work.
So I wanted to share information about this tool with my colleagues in my Organization via means of a presentation.

I am preparing a list of all small little useful things that someone could do using AutoHotkey. (In a form of questions).

1. Do you often write FYI,BTW,AFAIK,ASAP.. etc in emails/chats?
2. Does you computer newbie parents keep trying to RIGHT/MID double click a game icon (instead of LEFT double click)?
3. Does your desktop always have more than 15 windows open and its difficult to ALT+TAB between the windows ?
4. Does your documentation work requires you to often use super/normal/sub scripts (interchangably)?
5. Do you like to have a unique console window always open (but hidden) ?
6. Is there an unimportant username and password that you always have to type in your browser ?
7. Are you afraid of your boss while playing solitare/freecell/minesweeper ?


For the above, I got ideas from various scripts given in http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Script_Listing
I will also be pointing my audience to the scripts given on the wiki catalogue for getting the best solution.

I need some more ideas on "How AutoHotkey can help someone in their daily tasks?"

I sincerely appreciate whatever help I can get on this.

[Wouther]

Are you going to explain your colleagues what is possible with Autohotkey (using the list) or are you planning to write the scripts that can solve the problems in the list and then show them the finished programs?

Also, when are you planning to show your colleagues all this? (tomorrow, next week, next month... just an indication to see how much time is left! )

I thought there was something on the forum to check how much time you are working on a project. Maybe that's useful, but maybe it needs an extension to be usefull for you and your colleagues (haven't checked ).

Anyway, good luck!

Friends,

With all the ideas from you all, I did session in my organization on Autohotkey. And it was a great success, they asked me to repeat the knowledge sharing session for those who missed it. So I did it again.

People just couldn't believe how better their life would be with Autohotkey.

Its been a long time after that and today I realized that I forgot to thank you guys for your help.

And also I would like to share my presentation's material so that maybe more people can share Autohotkey in a similar way in front of large audience.

Please feel free to check out my presentation material zipped. http://shobhitgupta12.googlepages.com/pitstuff.zip

I didn't felt like making an impact using PPT slides only. So I used PPT in addition to an AHK file which I used to automate the typing of my examples. (which made my presentation very compressed). I was able to show more in less time.

In my AHK file (in pitstuff.zip), these were the hotstrings I used.
__process
__modifiers
__singleline
__multiline
__multikey
__leftright
__up
__~
__abbreviations
__long
__click
__move
__drag
__inputbox
__mousegetpos
__keystate
__variables
__function
__loops
__example1
__example2
__example3

With all my heart I wish to thank this forum.

Thank You,
Shobhit
