[RWP] AHK

Sun Jun 2 20:52:57 EDT 2013

Chris,
No, not really for this purpose, since I was just implementing a general 
purpose thing, and those are pretty application dependent.
I use them a lot personally.  I have one script called 
FixMyPatheticTyping.ahk, just for correcting my most commom typing mistakes.
But, you can sure add your own to this file.
