AutoHotkey

Has now been replaced with AutoHotkey-V2: a new and greatly improved repository of scripts

Old README text that is staying for historical reasons ↓

All of my AutoHotkey and iCUE stuff. If you're new here start with the file "Main Script Revised.ahk". It's the big main file that links most of the other scripts in this repo together. There are also some other smaller scripts scattered throughout. Have a look around.

Brief History (From What I Can Remember/find):
2015/2016—acquire K95 RGB and M65 mouse.
2017/2018—Actually figure out how to use the terrible and unintuitive Corsair software. Start looking into how I can use the software.
October 8, 2019—My first repo created: this one. Also, AutoHotkey scripts existed a little bit before then I think, but they were extremely rough and terrible.
May 29, 2019—Replace M65 with Scimitar Pro RGB (bigger, more comfortable, 14 extra buttons).
//I'm sure there's more and if I think of them I'll add them here.

Explanation/Bio:
AutoHotkey has completely changed my workflow and way of going about doing tasks on a computer. In addition to making my work easier, it has also helped me to learn and practice many important programming conventions and skills, such as DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), planning before programming, and how to use git and GitHub professionally and smartly. Amazing language.

Future Plans:
Once I'm out of college and actually have money, I plan to build my own custom mechanical keyboard, without dedicated macro buttons. To replace those buttons, I plan to get an Elgato Stream Deck XL. This would replace those buttons, as well as potentially make my secondary keyboard obsolete. It just seems so much more logical to get one because of the fact that the keys have screens, meaning I never really need to memorize which keys do what. It also has more buttons than my keyboard does (32 compared to my keyboard's 18). Although it's probably a bit overpriced (costing more than the keyboard I'm typing this on!) I still think it and the custom keyboard are the way to go.

There really isn't an end goal with this repository. It's all about making using a computer easier for myself. It started around 2017/2018 with pretty simple iCUE profiles for making things easier and it's just grown from there after I learned about AutoHotkey from this video (I think): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn8ExQ2Gjg. I am always thinking of and coming up with new ideas and try to find better ways of doing things—both in terms of programming and general computer-related tasks. People are often amazed and blown away at all of my AutoHotkey things

This is my magnum opus.
