Editing AutoHotkey (section)

==Extended character entry==

'''AutoHotkey_L''' in particular is useful for permitting the entry of any Unicode character at the keyboard (in Unicode-aware applications) from simple keyboard shortcuts. For example, the following AutoHotkey script binds ctrl+alt+N to right arrow ("→", U+2192) and ctrl+alt+M to a true minus sign ("−", U+2212):

 ^!N::SendInput {U+2192} ; ctrl+alt+N = right arrow
 ^!M::SendInput {U+2212} ; ctrl+alt+M = minus

While this sort of character entry has been available on the Macintosh for decades, AutoHotkey_L extends this concept out to the full 32-bit Unicode repertoire.
