AutoHotKey is one of two things I miss when I'm on Mac. You can duplicate the functionality in various ways but there isn't a single tool that's both a full scripting language and a simple hotstring/hotkey tool.
The startup script for AHK is in the same directory as the AutoHotKey executable and has the same name but with a .ahk extension. By default that's C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.ahk
but if your AHK is installed in C:\bin
and named ahk.exe
then the startup script will be C:\bin\ahk.ahk
.
To get the time zone on Windows:
Run “w32tm /tz” and parse the bit after “TIME_ZONE_ID_” to determine STANDARD or DAYLIGHT.
w32tm /tz Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD Bias: 300min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
:*:;tz:: RegREad, TimeZone, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\TimeZoneInformation, TimeZoneKeyName if (InStr(TimeZone, "Standard")) TimeZone := "EST" else if (InStr(TimeZone, "Daylight")) TimeZone := "EDT" else TimeZone := "ET" SendInput, %TimeZone% Return
