Windows Guru – How to set up AutoHotKey in Windows 10

AutoHotKey is a robust productivity tool that enables you to create macros for performing specific tasks using key combinations.

This is a setting I consistently apply on Windows machines. Being bilingual in both Japanese and English, it’s essential to have a key combination that allows for seamless language switching.

You can download AutoHotKey by visiting the following link:

!Space::Send, {vkF3sc029}

Once you’ve completed writing the script, simply double-click it to run it.

However, you might also want the script to run automatically every time your machine boots up. In that case, you can either move or make a copy of the script and place it in the Startup folder.

Here’s the process:

Press the Windows key and the letter “R” together, and then type the following shell command in the dialog box. This will take you to the Startup folder where you can paste the script for it to run on startup.

shell:startup
