AutoHotKey scripts and configuration

AutoHotKey scripts I use to mimic my Linux Keybindings and Workspaces on Windows 10/11.

Initial setup

1. Create at least 8 workspaces (virtual desktops) on Windows. There's no need to name them, but these are the ones I use:

   1. Web
   2. Art
   3. Coffee
   4. Files
   5. Terminal
   6. Social
   7. Games
   8. Music

2. Install AutoHotKey. This repo is tested with version 1.1.33.10.

3. Clone the repository and its submodules.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/lu0/autohotkey-config

1. Run each *.ahk script by double-clicking on them:
   • For all *.ahk scripts in folders key-remappings, miscellaneous, toggle-win-terminal, and window-control.
   • For desktop_switcher.ahk, contained in the workspaces folder.

Run at startup

These scripts can run at startup by copying or linking them to the startup folder:

1. Open the repository in the file explorer.

2. Open the startup folder in another explorer

   • either by running the following command in CMD:

   explorer.exe %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

   • or by pressing keys WIN + R and running shell:startup

3. Create a shortcut for each *.ahk script by selecting the *.ahk files and then, while pressing Ctrl + Shift, dragging them from the repository folder to the startup folder.

   • For all *.ahk scripts in folders key-remappings, miscellaneous, toggle-win-terminal, and window-control.
   • For only the script desktop_switcher.ahk, contained in the workspaces folder.

4. Reboot
