In addition, you can use AutoHotKey to call into DLLs, access memory addresses, interact with COM objects and more. AutoHotKey can also parse data feeds, and you can even create graphical interfaces to accept input for your scripts. Some more advanced capabilities of AutoHotKey include scripting keystrokes, menu selections, and mouse actions, which you might use for, say, GUI testing. In practice, many people use AutoHotKey for tasks such as text expansion, mapping keys and mouse clicks to shortcuts or other actions, and launching programs. Technically, AutoHotKey is a scripting language and interpreter that enables you to automate actions within Windows and installed actions. Let's take a look at how this amazing tool works and get a taste of how it might simplify aspects of your daily development tasks. In the Windows world, one automation tools reigns supreme: AutoHotKey.

Many of them are quite polished and highly capable within their respective niches. The Mac OS world has a wide selection of keyboard automation and text expansion tools to choose from, each of which typically specializes in providing a specific niche of macro or automation functionality. I should write a program automating it!'? How many times have you said to yourself, 'I spend a lot of time on this task. And I'd bet programmers know this better than anyone, because automating tasks is both free (discounting employer cost of automation 'R&D' time) and, often, curiously challenging. Cmd is remapped to Ctrl but I can't find the Autohotkey command to launch the 'move focus to next window' action.Anyone who's had to perform the same mindless task over and over - or mindlessly forgot to perform an important-but-tedious task correctly - knows the value of automation. I still can't find a way to move focus to next window (from a program to another): on Windows, this is done by LAtl+ Tab, on a Mac by Cmd+ Tab.

I found lots of example and scripts and I was able to remap Cmd to Ctrl and all the functions keys to volume controls, media controls, print screen, etc. I'm trying to configure an Apple Keyboard with numeric pad to work on a Windows notebook.
