How do I learn ahk? Topic is solved

[Xtendera]

Hello, I would like to learn autohotkey, but don't know how. I tried reading the doc, but I am stuck on how to use the gui right now. Any ideas?

Are you talking about AHK's command reference GUI?

There are of course many more AHK videos available. Picked them for the reason that they're offering full-blown AHK serials/playlists.

Isn't there something like a course or video on this?

Also, what does the New command do? Isn't it the same as show?
