AutoHotkey, or AHK, is a free, open-source utility for Windows. With it, you can:
Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or keyboard macro by hand or use the macro recorder.
Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.
AHK is heavily used by a few online poker players to customize their playing interface, allowing them to use keyboard shortcuts to select tables and bet-action buttons, and to use their gaming controllers to play poker, even though the poker sites have never explicitly written code to support any of this.
You can get it from AutoHotKey.com's download page. For a good write-up about it, check out the Wikipedia page AutoHotkey.
AHK Basics
To use a script (lifted from a 2+2 post by Adde):
(1) Download and install Autohotkey. (2) Right-click desktop (or whatever location on your disk), choose New > Autohotkey Script. (2a) Rename the new script from "New AutoHotkey Script.ahk" to "Your Choice of Name.ahk". Don't forget the ".ahk"! (3) Right-click file, choose Edit Script. (4) Paste in whatever script, save and close. (5) Double-click file to run script. Adde
Many scripts allow you to fine-tune them with your preferences, especially key bindings. You can find a complete list of them here http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm (as well as copious other help.)
