Editing AutoHotkey (section)

===Starting out with AutoHotkey: The basics===
Specify ''SendMode Input'' at the top of the script if it isn't there (it's there by default in all new scripts). That way the Send command translates into SendInput, which is well desired for performance and reliability. In AutoHotkey_L this is default and does not need specifying. <sup>[unconfirmed]</sup>

A basic remap in AutoHotkey script is done with this shorthand:

 a::o

which makes pressing "a" send the "o" event to the system. (Pressing "o" will still send "o" unless you remap that key too). All modifier states are remapped along with this: for example, Ctrl-A will appear as Ctrl-O to the computer.

Remember that even as you remap, AutoHotkey knows which keys you really mean: always type the key's original ''QWERTY'' position.
