A PEEK AT THE SYNTAX...

AutoHotkey provides a simple, flexible syntax allowing you to focus more on the
task at hand rather than every single little technicality. It supports not only
the popular imperative-procedural paradigm, but also object-oriented and
command-based programming.

Here are a few simple examples:

 1. Hotstrings & Hotkeys
 2. Clipboard example
 3. Short GUI
 4. Simple Array (or Objects)
