Auto Hot Key

RUN --- the run command is mainly used for opening an applications by a hotkey press.. these work like hotkey:: run Chrome; this run command basically takes the app name as a parameter and if that does not work , we can specify the path of the application hotkey:: run C:/programfiles/google/chrome.exe to open a file , hotkey:: run "\documents\new.txt" to open a folder , hotkey:: run "path" to launch a webpage in the default browser , hotkey:: run www.google.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEND ---- the send command is used to either send a particular text to a text field or send a key combination when you think the hotkey is too long and want to minimise it or something like that. hotkey:: send, text this is for sending a particular text when a hot key os pressed. ^+#hotkey:: run chrome #v:: send ^+#hotkey here , the combination ctrl+shift+win+v runs chrome and as the combination is too leng...
