daveconfig VS lintalist

Autohotkey is amazing, but I wish it used a saner language. I struggled to write a reliable golden ratio version of aero snap [1]. Dealing with different monitors, sizes, etc doesn't seem like it should be so hard, but I always get tripped up by the bizarre Loop syntax or silent failures from some simple mistake that suck the fun out and I give up.

I found ahk python module [2] but combining it with the keyboard module doesn't work as well as autohotkey as a hotkey listener.

:h skeleton is another way of doing this and it works from within vim. Could also run vimscript to generate better content.

Cannot say if useful, but if you need to insert/copy paste text (and modifiers) there is a tool written in AHK that is very handy:

Not an answer, but in Lintalist this would the snippet

Perhaps https://lintalist.github.io/ will be of interest as well (also AutoHotkey)

Likely not, as it requires 1.1.31+[0], and this port supports up to 1.0.

Take a look at lintalist. It is an extremely well-done, extensive text expander which can do almost anything. As long as you don't need an absolutely specific, overly complex string to expand, LL is probably your easiest and most convenient bet.

Check out Lintalist... it's written in AutoHotKey and is a portable EXE. It might make writing and managing your macros a lot easier. https://lintalist.github.io/
