Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

Small implementation changes:
  • Changed A_Language to use GetSystemDefaultUILanguage().
  • Refactored Window Spy/help file launching from tray menu to improve code re-use.
  • Optimized Gui/Menu/Hotkey/Hotstring/OnClipboard message handling (minor).

AutoHotkey at version 1.1.24.02, changes and downloads. There is also another change- now all standalone versions (once named ANSI 32-bit, Unicode 32-bit, Unicode 64-bit) come in one single archive, something I do not like.

I updated the description.

The description still had a reference to AutoIt2 "The scripting language used is mostly backward compatible with AutoIt2 scripts." but that has been removed in v1.1.09: "AutoIt scripts are no longer supported." Source https://autohotkey.com/docs/misc/AutoIt2Compat.htm

Edit: also removed "with included macro recorder" as that is also no the case for many years now.

Added a note - Pulover's Macro Creator can be used as a macro recorder and includes an "Export to AHK" function.

Something that may interest users of AutoHotkey -- who are probably aware of it anyway, so this is only FTR since there's no mention of it around TPFC:


AutoGUI is an Integrated Development Environment for AutoHotkey which combines a script editor with a GUI designer, debugger and tools.

AutoHotkey has no limits when it comes to automation in Windows, but for many users who may only need simple keyboard shortcuts, installing and learning AutoHotkey, and keeping up to date, can be overkill. ShortKeeper can be used to manage an AutoHotkey-based system in a way most non-programmers will find remarkably user-friendly and effective. And it’s also free: https://cedeq.com/shortkeeper/en

Given that AutoHotkey hasn't seen much discussion in the past few years, I was under the impression this was a toolset that had either faded away or lost focus, but that doesn't appear to be the case at all.

According to Softpedia, an alpha update was released just this month.

Several introductory articles from the past year:
Nevermind the load of Youtube videos by actively maintained channels ... in particular, AHK Guru.
