I was listening to a seminar and heard this great quote:

Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way — Abraham Lincoln

This is one of my core beliefs and I’m betting it resonates well with you also.

It’s one of the reasons people come to use AutoHotkey.

AutoHotkey users are people that “get things done”!

It’s one of the reasons everyone in the AHK hero club get’s along so well together.

We know there isn’t just one solution, there are many!  And the “best one” is more about the person developing the script than it is about the problem itself.

We always make sure the solution we propose is “within reach” of the developer.

As I tell our clients for our “done for you” work, you determine what needs to be done and we’ll “get you there”.

Mastering Mental Resilience: The Art of Unshakable Strength

I remember Napoleon Hill talked a lot about doing what is hard.

I decided to create an LLM Podcast on this topic which you can listen to here.

They discuss how Resilience isn’t something you’re born with; it’s something you develop.

Now on with the show…

Advanced Hotkeys & Key Combinations

Here’s an extract from our AHK hero call last week.

We discussed how to create advanced hotkeys using very interesting key-combinations and how easy it is to add more when you think you’re running out.

Cool alternative to Hotkeys & HotStrings

As I mentioned above, during the AHK hero call we covered some advanced Hotkeys.

It reminded me of this video where we showed how powerful the InputHook is.

Updates to Quick Clipboard Editor

Jean Lalonde, author of Quick Access Popup, released an update with some very cool features to Quick Clipboard Editor.  You can check them out in this video.

This Friday Jean is going to attend the AHK hero call to give a deeper-dive and answer questions.
