These are my customized scripts for AutoHotKey. These are highly tailored to my specific needs and preferences, but feel free to use them as a starting point for your own scripts.
This script simply re-maps a few keyboard keys to behave the way I prefer.
This script allows you to save and restore window layouts for different monitor setups. This is useful when undocking/re-docking a laptop to a docking station, or when connecting/disconnecting external monitors, projectors, etc.
| Hotkey | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Alt+Win+0 | Save the current window layout for the current monitor configuration. Depending on how many monitors are connected, the window layout will be saved in the config directory as 1-monitor-layout.txt, 2-monitor-layout.txt, etc. |
| Ctrl+Win+0 | Restore the layout of the active window for the current monitor configuration. |
| Ctrl+Shift+Win+0 | Restore the layout of all windows for the current monitor configuration. The window layout file is deleted afterward. You can create a config\#-monitor-layout.default.txt file for each monitor configuration, which will be applied if there is no saved layout file. |
This script is based on this script by Andrew Moore, which extends Windows 10's built-in window-snapping hotkeys to support additional window sizes and positions.

To get these scripts working on your computer, follow these steps:
-
Install AutoHotKey
You can download it here -
Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/JamesMessinger/AutoHotKey.git -
Create an
AutoHotKey.ahkfile
When AutoHotKey starts up, it looks for a file namedAutoHotKey.ahkin your Documents folder. So create a file by that name, and point it to where you cloned this repo in Step 2.
AutoHotKeyDir := "C:\Users\James Messinger\Code\AutoHotKey" ; <--- Edit this to point to your path
Run, %A_AhkPath% "%AutoHotKeyDir%\src\AutoHotKey.ahk", %AutoHotKeyDir%- Set AutoHotKey to run at startup
Create a shortcut to AutoHotKey (C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe). Then open the Windows Run utility (Win+R) and typeshell:startupto open your Startup folder. Then paste the AutoHotKey shortcut in this folder.
All of these scripts are MIT licensed and can be used however you want. AutoHotKey is open-source too!
