Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
AHK is one of the apps which locks me into using Windows. I use it to add characters like äöüß and áóúñ to my keyboard, to control the light level in the room and apartment, add timestamps like `08:39 –`, `2023-08-22 08:39:46` or 2023-08-22 — Tuesday` with the press of one/two buttons, shut down/turn on the power to my monitors with a Tasmota enabled power outlet when toggling the pause key and some other stuff.<p>I only wish it had the capability to use a second keyboard as a button surface to trigger stuff while eating up those key presses, so I'm resorting to a small bluetooth keyboard connected to a raspberry pi zero in order to get more buttons.
