After getting the Stream Deck I have been having tentative explorations into its setup and uses. A good Stream Deck article about process and setup is here You can create your own icons from a Stream Deck library , go HERE Stream Deck Calculator I saw this video and thought it would be a great

My original Microsoft Surface Book keyboard died on me a couple of years ago and I got a Surface Laptop to replace it. The Laptop did not have a Graphics card so not so good at BIM. I then realised I could cheaply purchase 2nd hand a lower spec Surface Book and switch over the

I was looking up AHK productivity and came across some extra information about Stream Decks and justification for using that rather than a 2nd keyboard. I thought this video was good in that it covers plugins and alternatives and other methods to try things out like Touch Portal This article seems to be useful too

I came across Alexander Behne’s video “Speed Up Your Workflow with Code! | AutoHotKey for Video Editors” and was really impressed by the setup and access to the folders, in some way this is a more personalised workflow than Quick Access Popup but I still feel the method is a good way to setup and

I wrote an article on mapping a 2nd keyboard for macros, I’m using EvilC’s AHK method for doing so. See Mapping a 2nd Keyboard for macros (USB & bluetooth). This is using mainly AutoHotKey do do all the heavy lifting. You also need to code in all the maco’s into a script which you need

After playing with AHK scripts I ended with a lot of scripts and nothing to map them to as the easily memorised and handy left keys that my hand can access are all used up. I ended with AHK Command Picker and that has alleviated some of the stress of having macro’s handy, but it

I recently compiled a .exe Time Capture application based on Joy’s AHK (AutoHotKey) App. As I was reflecting on how I used this app, in combination with Hellbent’s Stopwatch and started to consider combining a timer/stopwatch into the program. So I started looking in AHK forum for other Stopwatch scripts and also I’ve just come

I want to create a AHK exe file that does timesheets for others. The idea being that I can create a simple timesheet app that writes to a file but is compiled as an exe so can be shared. The challange being that you need to give it project “names” and “codes” that are relevant

I love AHK but its output is a bit grim and 70’s as far as presentation goes. You just get raw text, so good for code editing but as final product pretty plain. It would be nice to be able to format the text so that at least you can highlight specific information with bold,
