AutoHotkey script, pressing Caps Lock+Left Mouse Button simulates 50 mouse clicks per second until the left mouse button is pressed: ~LButton up:: if (GetKeyState("CapsLock", "P")) { while(!GetKeyState("LButton", "P")){ MouseClick, left sleep 20 } } return Useful in situations when you need to click a lot :) Also a bookmarklet that you use to turn any page dark with a click: javascript:document.querySelectorAll('\*').forEach(e=>e.setAttribute('style','background-color:#222;background-image:none;color:#'+(/^A|BU/.test(e.tagName)?'36c;':'eee;')+e.getAttribute('style'))) From here: https://github.com/x08d/222 https://github.com/x08d/222

my autohotkey is super simple and mainly to be vimmy in things like native controls (ALT-K and ALT-J for things like drop downs) which means I almost never need to touch the arrow keys <!k::Send {Up} <!j::Send {Down} Capslock::Esc

    TIL about Paperclips. Curse you for posting that link! At least I managed to release the hypno drones though...

      Ah Universal Paperclips... See you in the future then. Also: Kittens game by bloodrizer (and no, you won't be getting out of this one as easily as you might get out of Universal Paperclips, so search with care if you need to do anything productive for the near future.)

I use AutoHotkey for short-term automation of programs, helped by this entry for "when I save the Autohotkey config in notepad with ctrl+s, reload the script in AutoHotkey so it works immediately": ~^s:: WinGetActiveTitle, currentWinTitle If InStr(currentWinTitle, "AutoHotkey.ahk - Notepad") Reload Return Then entries which automate typical Windows keyboard actions, like this one below which triggers on alt+3 and moves around the fields on some specific GUI program which had no other automation support for what I was doing: !3::Send {alt down}a{alt up}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}Position{Shift down}{Down}{Shift up}{Del}{Tab}{Tab} Workflow becomes: - have something mildly repetitive to do, notice how to do parts of it with keyboard only. - right click AutoHotkey icon in taskbar, edit (opens Notepad). - change some of these automations, alt+1, alt+2, alt+3, ... - press ctrl+s to save and reload. - switch back to the program and use the hotkey immediately to begin helping. - repeat switching to AutoHotkey and the program, tweaking and adding more. It's amenable to the kind of occasional task which has no easy proper automation, or is a one-off and isn't worth more time to do it through proper interfaces. Things like a vendor support telling you to "go through every affected record and toggle X field off and on again".
