Not installing does not prevent you from writing a script and running it with AutoHotkey.exe, simply highlight the script file in explorer, right click it and pick run with and find Autohotkey.exe, this still runs any AutoHotkey command—nor does using the portable version keep you from compiling your scripts (making them into exe’s).
AutoHotkey is an open-source utility and can automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write macros by hand or use the macro recorder. You can also create hotkeys for keyboard, mouse, joystick, and handheld remote controls. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey. Similarly, you can define abbreviations that expand as you type them. For example, typing btw can automatically produce by the way. Finally, you can create custom data entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars.![What What](/uploads/1/2/5/8/125884008/547965726.png)
