So you’ve downloaded Autohotkey and are writing all kinds of automation scripts to help you out during the day at work. But what about home? You can setup routines to help you out there as well. I have several setup for email signatures, shortcuts for my home PC, etc.
To make juggling your Autohotkey scripts easier take a look at Dropbox. I’ve been keeping more and more stuff in Dropbox lately. It serves as a simple version control system, and best of all it’s truly cross platform so I can dual-boot my laptop into Windows or Linux and access the same files!
With Autohotkey you can drop your .ahk file in Dropbox and access your shortcuts from any computer (with Autohotkey installed of course).
If you haven’t heard, lifehacker.com posted an article about how you can you AHK + dropbox to remotely launch programs while you are away from your computer. just have and AHK script running that keeps reloading itself every so often. Then when you are away from the comp., just download that script edit it in notepad or something and tell it to run a program (and if the program is already running, to not run it again). If you think about it, there are even easier scripts than this to do the same thing.
I believe that you can probably find many uses for this sort of thing =)
You can make AutoHotkey portable btw.
Just Google it if you want.
