AutoHotkey geeft je de mogelijkheid om vaak gebruikte toetsaanslagen, handelingen en/of knoppencombinaties met het toetsenbord, muis en gamepad achter een zogenaamde hotkey te zetten, zodat de betreffende handeling in één keer wordt uitgevoerd. Ondersteuning voor het importeren van knoppencombinaties uit AutoIt2 is aanwezig. De ontwikkelaar heeft versie 1.0.40.02 de deur uit gedaan met de volgende veranderingen sinds de laatste vermelding in de meuktracker:
Version 1.0.40.02:Version 1.0.40.01:
- Fixed "Transform Unicode" to be able to produce a Unicode string whose first byte is zero. [thanks Shimanov & Laudrin]
- Reduced the size of compiled scripts by 20 KB by having the compiler minimize code size in sections that don't affect script performance.
- Fixed the title bars of script-owned windows to respond correctly to left and right down-clicks generated by the script's own hotkeys. [thanks Shimanov]
- Fixed inability of OnMessage to consistently monitor certain messages such as WM_GETMINMAXINFO.
- Changed Critical to be temporarily off during MsgBox and other dialogs.
- Added command "Thread NoTimers", which prevents a thread from being interrupted by timers.
- Changes for GUI:
- Fixed GuiContextMenu's A_GuiControl to be accurate for Text and Picture controls inside a GroupBox or Tab control.
- Fixed GuiControl to properly redraw Picture controls and transparent Text controls when they are given new contents.
- Increased the width of auto-sized Checkboxes and Radio Buttons by 1 pixel to prevent wrapping on certain desktop themes.
