This is my free and open-source project that work with taking input from user and made AutoHotkey script from it. With integration of AutoHotkey Interception to make script able to remap only on specific devices.

Can be useful for someone who want to use AutoHotkey, but don't know how to code or just lazy to code or simply someone who don't know AutoHotkey but interested in it's feature and want to use this project as a whole.

This is not official tool from AutoHotkey but my standalone project.

Pretty cool project. I made something like this years ago, but didn’t carry the vision quite as far, and mine was all native AHK.

I had written scripts at work that were useful and wanted to share. To lower the learning curve I made a GUI, allowed for user defined shortcuts in the GUI, setting their path to various integrated apps, and a quick toggle for help that would show all their defined hotkeys and what they did. I made an attempt to allow users to dynamically load additional scripts, but it only worked if running AHK and a script file, and I wanted to distribute it to the team as an exe, which broke the dynamic loading of a secondary file, but most people weren’t going to do that anyway.

I’ve since moved to macOS at work, and miss my old AHK scripts. It was so handy. I found a couple ways I might be able to replicate some of it without insane effort, but my work is less repetitive than it used to be, so it doesn’t seem as worth it.
