minus-squarePlutoniumAcid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoAmong my primary uses is completely remapping the keyboard layout, from scan codes to international Colemak (like Dvorak but different). That means my script captures every alpha keystroke and sends something else instead. AHK is marvelous to run on otherwise locked-down corporate computers. While I’m at it, my AHK also tracks typing stats, just for fun.
