This is an AutoHotkey script that I use on a daily basis for my PC. It features a few shortcuts that help me stay productive. They are mostly already existing shortcuts remapped to my liking, all around the use of the "alt" key. I set it up as such because I think the alt key is the best modifier for left hand shortcuts, which is 100% of the time on your keyboard, while the right hand is changing between the mouse and the keyboard. I will list the shortcuts below.
Closes the Active Window and brings to focus last one used.
Minimizes the Active Window and brings to focus last one used.
Stands for Delete, Home and End functionalities respectively
Opens File Explorer.
Opens Windows notifications.
Runs Windows ScreenSnip for making a quick screenshot.
Runs a PowerToys feature called "Run". I use this in conjunction with TaskBarX, to create a clean environment.
Horizontal scroll. Scrolling up means left and down means right.
Simulates arrow keys while holding down the semicolon. Useful when your hands are on the homerow position.
If you like my work, I have another repository dedicated to running powershell by f12 key with additional fancy stuff. You can check it out here. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, your words are more than welcome.
