AutoHotkey

AutoHotkey is an utility you can use to script operations in Total Commander. Its focus, as the name implies, are Hotkeys which can be created pretty fast. Another great feature missing in AutoIt are Hotstrings. Make sure that you take a look at the excellent help file, it's suited for beginners and advanced users and will help you create your own scripts in no time.

How does it work?

In order to make use of the following scripts you have to

1. install AutoHotkey;
2. save the script as WhateverYouLike.ahk (alternatively add it to the AHK autostart file AutoHotkey.ini);
3. run it.

or

you compile the script with Ahk2Exe.exe (available in the zip-file at the AHK Download page). Thus you get a standalone exe-file you can run on each PC without Autohotkey installed. Disadvantage: You can't modify this compiled exe anymore.
