nosh VS AutoHotkey

Program that interfaces AutoHotKey and youtube-dl so that I can easily play or download things with shortcuts. Haven't played a youtube video from the actual website in years (don't tell anyone).

Program that lets me keep track of the last time I did something (brush teeth, exercise, vacuum the floors, etc), which motivates me to do these things more regularly.

Program to convert between various units of bits, mostly so that I could do a calculation regarding download speeds.

Program to run programs without a shell, so that I could run certain commands on startup (it was faster to implement than to find an existing solution) [1].

Library to dump various useful information out of a Pokemon ROM, so that I could play the game more efficiently [2].

Playing card library, so that I could simulate certain solitaire games and figure out the chances of winning [3].

Program to quickly parse and generate markdown files from source code comments, existing solutions being too complex or not working quite the way I wanted [4]. This one ended up being a real winner, because it let me stop worrying about presentation and get back to writing code/documentation.

There's this sort of multi-tool I've been working on for game development on Roblox (very niche) [5]. A high-level overview is that it uses scripting to streamline certain workflows that would otherwise be tedious, such as parsing proprietary file formats, interacting with web APIs, or assembling a project into a final product. It's a winner because it lets me make even more tools for myself.

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
