What is this video about?
Some things you do on your PC multiple times a day. For many tasks, there's a keyboard shortcut to speed things up, such as Ctrl+Shift+N to create a new, empty folder.
We often want to create a shortcut to a website on our PC. Unfortunately, there's no shortcut for this in Windows.
Today, we want to show you how to create a script for this using the free program AutoHotkey, get it running, and have it start automatically with Windows. Don't worry, you don't have to learn a new programming language. We had the free version of ChatGPT generate this small script for us in minutes.
You can download AutoHotkey for free here (version 2.0 recommended): https://www.autohotkey.com/
If you'd like to try programming yourself, here's the link to the documentation page subpage with the keyboard shortcuts: https://ahkde.github.io/docs/v2/lib/S...
Who are we?
I'm Tom, currently 49 years old, a qualified civil engineer, and I earn my living in bridge construction. My job involves a lot of IT, but I've also been working with Windows and software applications in my free time since around 1990.
I've passed this fascination on to my son John, currently 13 years old. He helps me create the German videos and learns a lot in the process.
What is our mission?
Our time is precious and limited. Many tasks are repetitive on the PC, and over time we've compiled various tips and tricks that save us a lot of work and time. We want to share these with you and hope to learn even more from your feedback and questions.
What equipment did we use to create the videos?
