Hi,

I'm sure many/most here already know about www.autohotkey.com - it's really, really great and I like it even more since I accidently discovered Skrommel's Coding Snacks page. Thanks again!

I now use AHK

• to be able to use handy shortcuts for often used folder names
• to more easily search for movies in the great www.imdb.com
• to move around windows on the desktop with the keyboard only
• to move around windows with the mouse that you normally can't move at all
• to use shortcuts for often used and complex URLs (that work in IE, FF and IRC!)
• to help newbies in several IRC channels with a variety of FAQ triggers
• to open URLs from the clipboard in less than a second
• to more easily edit wiki pages
• to remote control bots in IRC
• to promote great freeware programs with tiny triggers (info includes URL, mouser and Skrommel should do that more often too) :)
• to easily use different signatures in emails or add info to the signature
• to bold text in here without having to touch the mouse
• to be able to type short hotkeys instead of long path names for the most often folders
• to dim all of the desktop but the active window, thanks to skrommel's Ghoster
• to remote control the new, great Google Sidebar (check http://desktop.google.com/en/ for details about it)
• to close a program window that needs to be sitting in AutoStart but won't close itself when it's done
• to automatically backup very important files once a day
• to schedule site visits for a site I don't want to forget to visit
• to remap some keys
• to make Ctrl-TAB work in tabbed programs that don't support Ctrl-TAB by themselves
• to automatically delete certain tiny files that I download with Free Download Manager & FlashGet (faster than unselecting them before downloading)
• to more easily search for DonationCoder.com forum (this!) :)
• to show/hide a certain program that's lurking in the tray
• to do some mind-numbing simple tasks for me (the same key-presses again and again and again)
• to be able to use Ctrl+s as the save hotkey in programs that don't support it already
• to automatically change a window's screen position when it's deactivated, thanks to skrommel's WinWarden
• to replace many key strokes in a certain program (for an action I repeat often) with just one hotkey
• to close a program by just pressing ESC when no file is loaded
• to easily upload code/text to www.pastebin.com thanks to skrommel's great code
• to mute my PC in case I fall asleep while listening to music, thanks to skrommel's IdleMute
• to often sync the system time with NTP servers
• to automatically defrag mp3 files that I recorded with another program
• to automtically delete some old log files at night
• to enable/disable a Winamp plugin with a keyboard shortcut
• to enjoy a better screensaver, thanks to skrommel's DimSaver
• to automatically close info windows of programs that are missing an option to disable those

And since AutoHotkey is working perfectly on an USB stick too, I now can still enjoy all those benefits while using another PC - great!

I'd love to hear about other uses too!

Hi!

I'd like a tiny script that would do this when I hit Ctrl-Shift-i

Startup the IE, paste the content from the clipboard in the address field and hit Enter

Also, a second script would be cool with a slighty different hotkey. It should 'click' Ctrl-C to copy what I marked to the clipboard and then just do what the other script does.

I would especially like this since I can't click links - something broke in my Windows months ago... :( Repair-install didn't work, and I don't want to install every program again, setting everything up again would take ages...

I tested the new features of the latest version (great!), editing a CD front cover, adding stuff and so on. Last item I added was the "Emil" text, but why isn't that showing up in the preview when I clicked "Save as" (see left buttom corner)?
