Joe, you're very modest. Lelia did a nice job. And if anyone wants to have deeper dive on AHK they should check out your amazing channel. th-cam.com/channels/R0Hs-Bgz1SgGCq_0kbzjjg.html
Please make more AutoHotKey videos and tutorials. Automating repetitive tasks is the future. This will give users tools and time back to become creative instead of repetitive.
I've also been using AHK for years, literally every single day! Text expansions, e-mails filling, Excel format painter, program windows placement on different screens, specific program quick launch, custom music playlist shortcut, ... I even created several shortcuts for repetitive actions (like copy-paste between different files, or even new folders creation in project folders). It saved me HOURS at work!! Don't underestimate its potential, I cannot work without it anymore!
I have been using AHK since 2006. It started as you had mentioned, with text expansion. Since 2006 I've written countless utilities and 2 applications that have been Enterprise adopted. Hopefully AHK will be universally recognized in organizations as a productivity improvement tool, though currently it always takes convincing since it is not well known in most organizations.
Yeah same here, using it since 2002, in the beginning as a script package made by a magazine and quickly started to adopt it and wrote my own set of tools now over the years. I really love how good everything is explained in it's help.
I haven't told my employer this but I've used an automation tool to do about 70% of my daily tasks. It's been ridiculous how much free time I have because of it, going to the gym, reading, napping lol I feel automation is the future of work
Does only me make this comment thinking --- what an greedy arrogant person (some would even say how dumb it is as a boss) not to help and teach his employees to be more efficient and have better work life balance and like their job more ^^ but ok ... its your business :D
I work from home, and I use AHK. I can run a script that does the majority of my work HANDS-FREE! I cannot count how many times I've gone to the store or the post office "on the clock" and my script was doing all of the work. I rated top marks for production last month too!
I've been using this for 6 years, have written about 50 applications, from Bible Studies to Reminder apps to Document/Program launchers, etc. It is very capable and great for automating processes. I'm glad to see you are making use of it.
I strongly suggest anyone to use AHK or any other text expander. It is a time saver for sure. Great video Leila. My company, outside of actual data management teams, does not allow AHK like it does not allow PowerShell. We have otherwise what's called FastKeys but it's not as well documented or even used. However, it has a text expander function that I use often.
Please make more AutoHotKey videos and tutorials. Automating repetitive tasks is the future. This will give users tools and time back to become creative instead of repetitive.
Great video. I'm a big fan of AutoHotkey. Great to use it for things like links that I refer to often so that I don't have to search every time I'm looking for that one video, blogpost or VAT No. A few tips for fellow productivity enthusiasts: - Omit the warning message on changing your script by adding "#SingleInstance Force" in the beginning of your script. - Run your script(s) on startup by placing them (or shortcuts to them) in the startup folder. (Which you can find quickly using [win]+[r] --> "shell:startup") - The script is a text file... so don't put any passwords in them.
I'd add the option of putting "o" between the first two colons if you don't want a space at the end. ex: :o:btw::By the way Really helpufl for emails and passwords
Thank you for covering this product. I have been using it for years and it is a natural productivity assistant with many of the tools you often provide content for. Appreciated!!
I remember commenting about autohotkey on one of your other videos not too long ago. I'm so happy to see you spreading the love for it! It and X-Mouse are invaluable.
It is always your videos that solves the most difficult situations I face. Its your videos that I always recommend to anybody. Because your are #1. Thank you for being here.
Hi Liela, I've just reviewed your video about Auto Hot Key and I was excited to give it a go. I downloaded Auto Hot Key and tried to follow your instructions and had all sorts of problems which I eventually found out mostly related to your video being based on Auto Hot Key v1 (which is no longer supported) and very different to the current Auto Hot Key v2. It would be great if you could update your video to Auto Hot Key v2. Thanks again for your great videos. James - Brisbane Australia

Hi @Leila Gharani, I was pleasantly surprised to see AutoHotkey covered on your channel. Thank you for promoting it :) I have been using AHK for over 6 years, and once I got used to it, I now can't live without it haha - it's a must have program on my Windows machine.
About three months into being a ahk user, I now have 20 ahk files up and running at my desktop. I use it to run an image viewer. The viewer my company recently bought sucked, and I had to do something to save myself from repeatative clickings and draggings.
I've been hunting for this info for hours- it is surprisingly difficult to find someone breaking down hotkeys in this way-you are a great teacher! Thanks 😘
Hey Leila, Great job! The AutoHotkey tool is a game-changer in simplifying many tedious and repetitive tasks. Please keep scouring for more tools that simplify our tasks. Cheers!
Great video! I found AutoHotkey some years ago, I remember I used to have a long list of shortcuts on a cloud script, that would move with me across computers. I also had copies of specific hotstrings that I shared with coworkers back when we did a lot of transactional work and data entry, saved us a lot of time and also help standardize responses and completion comments.
Thank you very very much Leila. I just found this video while scrolling thro some stuff in TH-cam and I am loving hotkey now. Exploring it more and more. Thank you again.
Wow amazing! I've been using auto-hotkey for more than 20 years now (quite a lot at some stages) but this is the first time I see a general TH-camr using and presenting it. Especially it's documentation is amazing, one of the best I've seen so far. Ever thought of a follow up clip? Without getting into programming I would expand those two chapters of autohotkey and autohotstrings since they are something very useful and unique for autohotkey. Like introducing #ifWinActive to make context-sensitive hotkeys (only working in predefined apps and therefore not messing up other programs) or redefining already existing keys on your keyboard (like blocking CAPS or redefining the scroll key). You can easily improve and show autohotkeys usefulness without making it a programming video. Keep it up!
Love this! Have already set up a hotkey to enter my standard text that I put at the top of every VBA module I create and can think of lots of other uses.
Yeah, I have a ton of templates for my favorite snippets. :) Saves a ton of time coding. Do you make any that are context sensitive? So you can type the same exact thing however it replaces different text depending on the program/window you're in?
@@JoeGlines-Automator Haven't tried that yet. It would definitely make a lot of sense then I guess you can use the same hotkeys for different things depending on what you're doing.
@@shirleymoreman6725 Yep. I have 1 hotkey for commenting out code but it will put in different text depending on my file extension / editor. It's great because I don't need to think about what language I am in (well at least not more than once when I write the script).
@@cristiandrei1980 great to hear! There's so many things you can do with AHK, once you get into it, you won't be able to stop! Opening files and applications is a useful step.
Leila, It’s awesome AutoHotKey, I have used it to expand VBA outside the Office applications. How it’s possible? Because it uses COM. The objects that installed at Office installation. COM are the object that manipulate VBA in process. That explains how anybody who says Excel is dead and move to Python, the latter uses COM to automate Excel. I have used AutoHotKey to a data engineering pipeline of web scraping to upload data to an Access database. It’s not possible to use it with VBA because AHK has a library to control a browser if you know DOM and JavaScript (Web development stuff) to avoid sending clicks. If anybody knows VBA it can be expanded to another level with AHK. Specially for any Windows user.
Hotstrings and Hotkeys are only the tip of Autohotkey's iceberg. There is a lot more to Autohotkey and its ability to interact with Excel makes a must-have tool. For Excel power users Autohotkey can do what VBA does - and much more - using an easier to understand language and with shorter development time. @Leila Gharani, great introductory video! I hope there will be more to come... (until that time and for specific questions, the vibrant Autohotkey forum is available)
Yeah, I agree too. I told Leila that this is not a new thing unlike the way she kind of put in the thumbnail. I see Leila making a mistake as she is expanding to more and more areas besides Excel that I am starting to question her approach. I would suggest her to focus on Excel and maybe include Office Applications on factual matters instead of now delving into Finance, Programming and stuff that are clearly not her background or strength.
I've written a full blown billing system with AHK, it's a gem. Go for it! As said, it's free and fool proof noob friendly. Thx 2 Leila for this tutorial :o)
Very helpful tutorial. I have a malfunctioning key on my laptop, and AutoHotKey has allowed me to duplicate that key in Excel and other apps. No need for a hardware replacement. Thanks!
I have automated my tasks with Excel VBA and Autohotkey the last 3 years now. My scripts are in place and work from me everyday. I learnt everything from Joe Glines and Leila through their Udemy courses. Very interesting qnd happy to see the circle close in this video
Thanks for covering this! It was a tool I'd been looking for almost the entire time I started my work as a professional. Looking for more videos on this
AHK is the "must have" tool. I use it all the time from issuing strong password till window management. Second tool is Total Commander - I cannot work w/o this gem.

Nice video! Been using it for many years. One use is, as you showed, putting dates in all flle names. Can't find the URL just now but there's an auto correct list available with hundreds of common misspellings.
I tried to post the URL but TH-cam deleted it. You can find it like so: webpage title: Hotstrings - Definition & Usage | AutoHotkey header: AutoCorrect
I loved this tool! At work, I was on Windows, and only used the word expansion like date, email address, creating new emails and filling in everything but the file paths that changed (I created files that others needed access to). Now, at home, I’m on a Mac and iOS devices. Quickest is no longer around, so I’m still searching.

I tried to post the URL but TH-cam deleted it. You can find it like so:
webpage title: Hotstrings - Definition & Usage | AutoHotkey
header: AutoCorrect
I loved this tool! At work, I was on Windows, and only used the word expansion like date, email address, creating new emails and filling in everything but the file paths that changed (I created files that others needed access to). Now, at home, I’m on a Mac and iOS devices. Quickest is no longer around, so I’m still searching.
Keyboard Maestro is the closest thing to AutoHotKey on Mac that I’ve found!
Thanx! Already tried and it works great! 😘
Ms. Gharani, thank you again for your excellent videos.
My pleasure 😊
It was a wonderful video, as always your videos are very helpful. Please a second part, I'll be waiting. Thanks a lot.
