AutoHotkey is a powerful automation and scripting tool with included macro recorder and export to a self-contained executable. Possible uses include assigning the hotkey "Ctrl-Alt-F" to launch Firefox, making abbreviations expand to their full definition as you type them, or saving time by setting the computer to auto-click a confirmation screen. The scripting language used is mostly backward compatible with AutoIt2 scripts.
The program can create entire applications and has been used to create many hosted here on PortableFreeware including 7plus, WallPaper Randomizer, Gridy, and many more.

What about Windows 7? The version on this page doesn't list it (and it doesn't work, I tried). The AutoHotkey website lists Win7, but it's for an installed version. Does anyone know if that version can be installed/copied/uninstalled?

@BillDixon : I use the portable version under Win7 and it works fine! Start it with administrator rights. |

I'm explaining my issue above. For example, When I write "hth", program must write "Hope this helps!". But it writes "Hope ths helps!" (no lower i) No trouble with upper İ and other letters. only lower i. I can't make it write lower i. I'm using Windows 7 x64 Turkish.

@veyselcelik: I've been using TyperTask for about a year and have never had problems with missing letters. Perhaps a problem with the rules?

@lautrepay, I just downloaded and type hth. and it write Hope ths helps! (with no). it's own example rule, so i didn't write any rules. I guess it is about my windows' language. |
AutoIt is a BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows user interface. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks or perform user interface testing.
Users new to the program are encouraged to read an introduction (thanks guinness.)
Recommend: AutoIt Portable allows you to create a portable environment of SciTE4AutoIt3 and AutoIt together, as well as cleaning AppData and opening the program editor with sample scripts (also thanks to guinness).

I love AutoIT. Very powerful program that makes it simple to automate computer tasks and build simple programs.

I have tried for over an hour to get the portable version installed correctly but have been unable to do so. I attempted the automatic version but did not successfully "drop" the two extra downloads on the GUI once I ran autoit-creator.

A new Portable version will be released next week. Thanks for reporting. Also the instructions for manual extraction are pretty clear. |
Bat to Exe Converter takes DOS or Windows batch file scripts (.bat) and converts them into 32-bit executable (.exe) files. Useful for creating shortcuts on USB flash drives along with their appropriate icons, preventing an annoying batch window from appearing, and includes encryption and decompiler features.

@lurker: That's not a bad idea in theory but a .BAT launcher that is less than 1 KB bat can easily become 400 KB for a compiled AutoIt script

Oh and BTW here is a virus total report: http://is.gd/zQjDtd |
LSMacro is a lightweight keyboard macro utility program that allows you to run programs, open urls, do screen captures, or send key/mouse events to other programs with just a few keystrokes. Intuitive and easy to use, reemaining in the System tray once macros are defined. Can create macro keys with Control, Shift, or Alt keys.
Note: The website is offline, so I have made it available for direct download.

I haven't tested this at length yet but already I can tell this is very simple and easy to use compared to many similar automation tools. Great for software testing or speeding up asinine computer tasks.

If there was some kind of help it may be a useful program. No details of how to record Macros to start with. |
