Hi everybody!
I've been using AHK for some time now, but it seems I'm only enjoying 1% of its functionality. The last time I coded it was with Basic probably 20/25 years ago, so I need some help.
Currently, I use AHK for text-expansion ("hw" becoming "hello world", etc.), but that's the small part of my job. The other is clicking so simple that I was thinking of training a monkey. I'd like to automate that. Right now that's done in a rudimentary manner with iMacros, but I have the impression that I can do the click automation with AHK as well, and even better.
The very general details: the clicking takes place in a browser. There's a flowchart of 3 if's that should govern it all. And then I'd like to loop it, and just look (or not look) at the screen when the clicking is being done. I'd also like to create keyboard shortcuts to make specific clicks on the site, sparing me entirely from the mouse when I do put in my input. Of course it gets a bit more complicated, but that will fall into the category of unknown-unknowns. Which is why I need help from somebody who has experience coding with AHK.
Presumably you'd need to know AHK, a bit of HTML/CSS (to figure out how to click) and javascript.
If might be interested and have the time hit me up. I'd be happy to write back some more details.
