AutoHotkey VS daveconfig

AutoHotkey is what made me fall love programming after disliking it after getting my degree. After switching to a macbook, AutoHotkey is probably what I miss most from being on Windows. It really has it all.

My old suite had:

- Universal VIM movement w/ CapsLock

- App launch hotkeys

- App-specific hotkeys

- Easy text-expansion

Hasn't been updated in years, but here is the repo for those interested: https://github.com/denolfe/autohotkey

Or a nice boilerplate to start from: https://github.com/denolfe/AutoHotkeyBoilerplate

I used to be a very heavy AHK user and developer a rather extensive config. Here is my config along with a boilerplate to help you start one that is similar:

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.
