Warning

Due to some fundamental differences between AutoHotkey and AutoHotkey_L (particularly Unicode and x64 builds), scripts written for AutoHotkey may not work as expected on AutoHotkey_L. For details of known compatibility problems and solutions, refer to the following:

• Script compatibility - Unicode vs ANSI, DllCall, NumPut/Get, other changes
• Script file code page - save your scripts as UTF-8!

AutoHotkey, AutoHotkey_L and compiled scripts often trigger false-positives with anti-virus software. For more information, see the community FAQ.

Acknowledgements

A special thanks to Jonathan Bennett, whose generosity in releasing AutoIt v2 as free software in 1999 served as an inspiration and time-saver for myself and many others worldwide. In addition, many of AutoHotkey's enhancements to the AutoIt v2 command set, as well as the Window Spy and the script compiler, were adapted directly from the AutoIt v3 source code. So thanks to Jon and the other AutoIt authors for those as well.

Finally, AutoHotkey would not be what it is today without these other individuals.
