Yeetus's Chest of AutoHotKey Scripts

Here are some AHK scripts that I use and don't wanna lose. Feel free to use them for your own endeavours.

*Used to use. I do not use Windows anymore. I recommend kmonad instead of AHK whenever it's possible because it's works at a lower level and is much more performant but also lacks a lot of AHK's feature as a consequence. I've also uploaded kmonad config files.

Before You Do

Before using these scripts, you should have an idea of what AutoHotKey is and how it works (or kmonad if you're on linux). Feel free to refer to the official docs or YouTube tutorials.

The PinkyProtector

Script to prevent extensive usage of the right pinky finger by creating a different layer of keys (on any keyboard, by holding CapsLock).

The custom layer is designed by me to have the special characters typed by the pinky spread across the right-hand keys. Also accounts for other utilitles (like arrow keys) to make using keyboard easier for your hand.

In very early stages but will likely keep updating this script as I use it and find ways to make it better. Here's the layout and some details.

PinkyProtector

To run the script automatically on startup:

  • Paste the ahk script file (or a compiled executable) to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
  • Or,
    • Create a txt file with Start "" "Directory to your script\script.ahk" in it
    • Rename it to a .bat file
    • Paste the bat file to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

QuickLittleTimer, QuLT

Just what the title says. I find myself using the default windows timer a lot and it is rather laboursome to get one started and then controlling it. So this AHK script creates a simple GUI timer on the screen that starts couting from the moment its activated (via a hotkey, preferably) until its stopped (Right Clicking on it, or another hotkey). Also added a fancy pause button (which would also be mapped to a hotkey, ofcourse).
