Customize your keyboard, joystick and mouse with an open source automation and hotkey utility that is backward compatible with AutoIt. It includes a quick-start tutorial, an automatic script writer that records and plays back your keystrokes and mouse clicks, and a comprehensive help file. The program can remap keys and buttons, and make almost any key, joystick button, mouse button, or combination into a hotkey. It also allows you to define abbreviations that expand as you type them (auto-replace); create custom GUI windows and menu bars; retrieve or change the volume, mute, and other settings of any soundcard; hide/close/resize any window; use a joystick as a mouse; retrieve and change the clipboard's contents; display dialog boxes, tooltips, balloon tips, and popup menus; and create your own stand-alone EXE files that can be run on any computer.

    - Fixed "ListLines On" not to erase the most recent log entry in the line history. [thanks Lexikos]

    - Fixed ListView to respond properly to mouse dragging when timers are running. [thanks Solar]

    - Fixed key-up hotkeys so that if one is created while its key is being held down, the release of the key doesn't trigger the wrong hotkey. [thanks Peter & engunneer]

    Absolutely brilliant app. but I agree - power users only need apply. The only app I've seen that's similar in scope to this tool is Windows PowerPro. Between those two apps (both free) you can perform and automate just about everything and enhance the hell out of your day-to-day PC usage.

    This really is the best macro program I have ever used under windows. I haven't found anything that it can't do. Oh, and it works very well with Vista.

    If you don't have this installed you're not a serious computer user. Amazing forum with endless scripts for everything.
