I find the CAPS LOCK key irritating to the extreme simply because it is so easy to activate the CAPS LOCK and end up typing several lines in unwanted upper case. Could you please advise how to inactivate this key without interfering with the SHIFT KEY function.

Many thanks in anticipation.

I would also like to recommend the freeware Windows automation engine AutoIt. Much of AutoHotKey's scripting style is based on the old version 2 of AutoIt; AutoIt itself is now in version 3 and has been for years.

As a point of disclosure, I am one of the developers of AutoIt.

I use the My Function Keys program suggested above by Ron. It has changed a bit. Only the F1 thru F4 keys are programmable, but there is no cost. Very simple to set up and a real time saver.

In Word7 there is now a button called Quickparts. Add your email address to that.

I love AutoHotKey! I use it to start applications that I use frequently but don't want open all the time, or a set of apps I use for presentations. I've also created some scripts to get to control panel apps without all the pointing and clicking.

As for instructions, there are people who have posted their AHK scripts for others to use. I learned quite a bit from seeing other scripts.

Hello Leo, I tried AutoHotkey for a while and made a few keyboard shortcuts, but then gave it up because it's a little too geeky and I couldn't find a good set of instructions. I would need a task-oriented manual if possible.

Is there an "AutoHotkey for Dummies" or equivalent?

This is a good program for those who have the patience to learn to use it.

Michael

For many years I've used a program called My Function Keys. With this, you assign text to the normally useless F keys. A single keystroke is all that is needed. It costs about 12.00 or so. You can even move the text files to other computers so that all you computers behave the same.
