What is an AHK file?

AHK stands for AutoHotkey which is a script file. The extension is an executable file created by AutoHotKey as a text file. You can, therefore, make modifications using text editors such as Notepad and Word. AutoHotKey automates different functions in Windows. Therefore, the file is a script that forms the building blocks for the automation process. With lines of codes present, the file can only be executed by the specified program. AHK files may also contain hotkeys that when typing, replace certain strings. This file plays a critical role, especially for repetitive tasks. The file creates such scripts that solve some complex tasks. Such tasks could be when a user is filling an online form, locations requiring auto-clicking, and Macros. It is important to note that edits created by ordinary text editors may cause the file not to run in AutoHotKey so it is probably best not to make any changes.
