Loving Autohotkey
As a Unix administrator, I try and use my keyboard more than my mouse, and I love automating things and processes, until I found Autohotkey I really didn?t have a good way to do it in windows, sure you can record marcos or write small scripts in office basic or whatever they call it now, but that is limiting, or I could write scripts in virtualbasic , too much work.
Autohotkey really makes automating things like passwd entry, I know it?s a ?bad thing? but when you are a new job site, and they really don?t understand the easy, power, security of ssh shared keys but they accept autohotkey what can you do? When in rome I say.
It would be nice if Autohotkey had a tool that allowed you to encrypt a string decrypt it easily so that you wouldn?t have to put passwords unencrypted in your script files, sure someone that really wanted access could crack them but it would at least keep the casual person from reading all my passwords.
Something like
myPasswd=?#$@SSGFSRWGSsses?
Send unencrypt(?%myPasswd?)
Here is my current autokey script on my home system.
#s::
InputBox, SearchTerm, Search
if SearchTerm <> ""
Run chrome.exe http://google.com/search?q=%SearchTerm%&ie=utf-8
return
#w::run winword.exe
#e::run excel.exe
#m::run chrome.exe https://mail.google.com/mail
