AutoHotkey Scripts

AutoHotkey is a custom scripting language for Windows that allows users to create anything from keyboard shortcuts to software automation tools. Below are some that I created:

Text Looper

Looper is a script that takes a text input and loops it over and over a number of times. It also includes options to change the loop speed, as well as pressing the enter and/or space keys in between each time the text is outputted.

How do I use it?

  1. Run the downloaded file.
  2. Click in the text box you wish to loop in.
  3. Hold down the CTRL key and left click in the text box again.
  4. Text boxes will appear:
    1. In the first, put in the text you would like repeating.
    2. In the second, put in how many times you want the text repeated.
    3. In the third, put ‘Y’ or ‘N’ (yes or no) depending on if you want the ENTER key to be pressed after each time the text is outputted.
    4. In the fourth, put ‘Y’ or ‘N’ (yes or no) depending on if you want the SPACE key to be pressed after each time the text is outputted.
    5. In the final text box, insert the number of milliseconds that should pass between each output. The lower the number, the shorter the wait (I normally use 100).
  5. If you make a mistake on any box, press Cancel on it and the ensuing boxes.
  6. Otherwise, click OK after each box. After the fifth box, the script will start.

Notes

  • There is a known issue where the second output can be put on the same line as the first output.
  • There is currently no option to abort the script once it is running.
  • Be careful with which text box you use this script on, as well as the times you loop and the number of milliseconds.
