    I am constantly typing in my email addr and several other "words" (not passwords) in various apps that need ID or repetitive data.

    Is there any way I can assign a key (ie: alt J) to auto type my email akin to a paste (ctrl V) keystroke?

    Well my curiosity got the better of me and I just installed it.

    Holy-coding Batman.........

    I haven't done macro programming in a coons age, and the extent of Autohotkey is daunting, especially for free. I expected something simple, and AHK is far from it.

    The first thing to baffle me, forcing me to post a question in their forum, is how to relocate the script default directory to someplace more accessible. I put AHK in C:\autohotkey\ rather than in program files, and now I want the script library in C:\autohotkey\scripts\ just to keep everything together. Waiting for their reply.
