Give the new script file whatever name you want. To create a new script, right-click anywhere on your desktop or in a File Explorer window, point to the “New” menu, and then select the “AutoHotkey Script” option. When that’s done, you’ll need to create a new script (if you already use AutoHotkey, feel free to add this to a current script or create a new one). You can even use AutoHotkey to compile the script to its own executable if you don’t want to keep the full AutoHotkey program running-or if you want an easy way to carry the script with you to other PCs.įirst, you’ll need download and install AutoHotkey. The resulting script is lightweight and won’t use much resources or add unnecessary clutter to your system.
