If you haven’t use AutoHotkey, you’re missing out!
I don’t use it for much (yet), but it certainly can be a life saver to make basic functions so much easier.
My keyboard doesn’t have volume control buttons – so using AutoHotkey I was able to add my own keyboard shortcuts that create this functionality for me. I used specific keys, but you can configure your setup however you’d like – change the keys and such. You can find the list of key names for AutoHotkey here.
