[http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page AutoHotkey] (also AutoIt V2) is an open source utility (written in C++) that uses a custom GUI scripting language for keyboard shortcuts, key and button remapping, mouse functions, text replacement shortcuts and GUI forms. The macro programs are typically written with the [[SciTE]] editor or in text. All keystrokes have symbols and names used by the scripting language. AutoHotkey has process management, environment events management, directory file management, typical flow control, Windows API functions, COM functions, math and string functions. Macros are written using the GUI scripting language to manage and program windows, forms, the system tray, menus, keys and buttons. The macros can be started by keys, key combinations, text key sequences, start menus, time and window events.  Autohotkey programs can be limited to working  in a specific application’s window by using the window’s name or application's form by using the form's name. Complex and repetitive procedures in a software application that require many keystrokes/buttons can be programmed in AutoHotkey to a single keystroke.
