It’s the best GUI automation tool out there. Here’s a shortcut that opens my current browser tab in the Wayback Machine: #HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe firefox.exe") >!^s:: { Keywait("RControl") Keywait("RAlt") SendEvent("^l") SendInput("{left}https://web.archive.org/web/*/{enter}") } #HotIf By comparison, the official extension takes four files to do the same thing. Four files!1 But I come here to bury AHK, not to praise it. https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/ahk/ Tue, 12 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/ahk/ People think it’s weird that I do all my development on a Windows machine. It’s definitely a second-class citizen experience in the wider development world, and Windows has a lot of really frustrating issues, but it’s still my favorite operating system.
