[RWP] AutoHotKey A Few HotSpots

My biggest problem using Alchemy Player so far is that it definitely can
lose connection with midi, so the player goes silent.
I has happened several times in Reaper, when recording midi and audio
tracks.
It has never happened with another VST synth in Reaper, so far.
Haven't discovered how to reestablish its connection to midi again, once
it loses connection, or yet discovered which situations cause it to happen.
I'll google for an answer.
I have really good luck with googling a plain English line like:
Why does Alchemy lose midi connection?
I often find it's not a problem only for blind users, that plenty of
sighted users have encountered it, and sometimes found a solution.
