Download AutoHotkey 2.0.0

Version 2.0 of AutoHotkey has been released. This program allows you to script frequently used keystrokes, actions and/or button combos with the keyboard and mouse behind a shortcut key, so that the action in question is performed in one go. It is also possible to convert previously scripted key combinations from AutoIt2 to the AutoHotkey scripting language. Version 2.0 includes a new command set that is much more structured, but is not compatible with the 1.1 versions. More about the differences between 1.1 and 2.0 can be found here this page are being found; this is the changelog for this release:

Changes since v2.0-rc.3:

• Removed Documents\AutoHotkey*.ahk default path and Welcome page popup, as users are no longer expected to execute AutoHotkey.exe directly.
  AutoHotkey.exe can still default to AutoHotkey.ahk in the same directory as the exe, for portable use.
• Fixed invalid parameter errors displaying wrong value for some methods.
• Fixed continue errors to be continued even when OnError is used.
• Fixed #HotIf to treat non-empty, non-numeric strings as true.

Changes to UX:

• Revised the help file menu; superseded files are now tucked away in a submenu.
• Added “Dash” to the title of ui-dash.ahk.
• Added tutorial links to Dash (some tutorials are also new).
• Added Editors link to the Editor settings GUI.
• Restored Start menu shortcuts for Window Spy and Ahk2Exe to allow them to be found by search.
• Replaced the v2 symlink with an actual directory and a file-swapping mechanism, similar to how v1 updates are handled.
  This allows files such as the help file config (chm_config.js) and Lib folder/symlink to be retained between updates.

Changes merged from v1.1 branch:

• Fixed VerCompare(a, “>” b) and reduced code size marginally.
• Fixed AltTab load-time errors to be consistent with other errors.
• Changed ComObject wrapper to pass large integers as VT_I8, not VT_R8.
  This improves interoperability between AutoHotkey instances (whether v1, v2 or a mixture).
  Integers within the range of a 32-bit integer are still passed as VT_I3.
• Fixed ComObject not throwing correctly when called via an object/COM.
• Fixed Hotkey control to allow setting ^, ! and + as hot keys.
• Fixed Hotkey control to include modifiers when value is set to a symbol.
• Optimized allocation of cached COM property names for built-in IDispatch.
