A very useful program.
Used to easily create keyboard and mouse macros.
(A macro allows you to repeat key stokes and or mouse movements and clicks several times very quickly and easily)
This program has many applications in WE and can be extremely useful in almost any other program.
Website
The website has its own forum and tutorials.
Ill give some examples of how useful it is when applied to WE.
Lets say i want to make an ability that has 100 levels.
and i want to make each tool tip display the damage of my ability.
The built in autofill cant do something like that.
Its damage will be for instance 50 + 10x (the level of the spell)
All the tooltips will show a different damage value.
Autohotkey has its own programming language and can use loops, variables and expressions.
Instead of a macro that pastes rapidly I can make one that correctly types out individual tool tips for each level of my spell to include typing out the damage.
Not only can it be useful for filling out fields in the object editor, but it can be used to quickly make triggers.
If i get stuck making some horrendous GUI trigger that has many parts that are very similar such as a trigger that detects a chat message for any player.
Normally I would have to copy this action paste it, then hit enter, click Player 1 (Red), hit down, then hit enter twice, just to get
Then i have to repeat that for each player up to 12.
But with a macro I can accomplish the same task much more quickly.
Outside of WE there are many more applications but i wont go into that.
here is another example
this one is one that could be used for unique tooltips
(btw i didnt have to type the green part it is automatically there whenever i make a new ahk file)
all i have to do is click the first field then hit x
and it changes all 100 fields to correctly display the level of the ability
pretty nifty huh?
heres one that would make tooltips for damage

Trigger:
- Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match
Normally I would have to copy this action paste it, then hit enter, click Player 1 (Red), hit down, then hit enter twice, just to get
Trigger:
- Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match
Then i have to repeat that for each player up to 12.
