Script Code:

On the previous tutorial, we created a simple hotkey, and today we will going to make a simple DotA Hotkey.

We will use the same syntax, see below, to create the hotkey. Lets say for example the item slot 1 or the item on Numpad7, the upper-left item, the commonly used hotkey is Alt+Q so that's is what we are going to use.

And this is the syntax that we are going to use:

YourHotkey = your desired hotkey (!Q or Alt+Q in this ... Read more »

What is AutoHotkey?
AutoHotkey is a free, open source macro-creation and automation software utility which allows users to automate repetitive tasks. Any application user interface can be modified by AutoHotkey (for example, with Emacs style). It is driven by a custom scripting language that is aimed specifically at providing keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys.

What are Hotkeys?
Hotkeys are sometimes referred to as shortcut keys because of their ability to easily trigger an action (such as launching a program or keyboard macro).

Now you know what is AutoHotkey and Hotkey, lets have an example.

Example:
First, create a new AutoHotkey Script file and edit it using no ... Read more »

We can make a simple web browser in AutoHotkey with the help of COM Standard Library. It was written by Sean, one of the creators of AutoHotkey. You can read the whole post here to know more about this functions.

Thanks to JRG and Sean for this useful script. You can read the whole forum post here.

It was become possible due to the ingenious work by JGR, callback.dll , which is absolutely needed in the script.
Many thanks to him. ... Read more »

First, download AutoHotkey_sc_bin_min_size.zip. Place the extracted file, AutoHotkeySC.bin, to your AutoHotkey Compiler installation directory, commonly "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Compiler\", overwriting the existing file.

It says that it will reduce the size for about 20 kB only but not all the time. Sometimes it reduces about 300 kB.

Any compiled script produced in this fashion will be dependent on MSVCRT.dll. Although this DLL is always present on Windows 2000/XP or later, older operating systems do not necessarily have it.
