AutoHook Dialog
AutoHook main dialog
The AutoHook dialog is sizeable, allowing you to see more hotkeys and longer macros. Drag any border to resize.
Hotkey & Assigned Macro List
A list of all currently saved Hotkey Definitions. Right click on this list to choose a new sorting order or to suspend Hotkeys. Select an item in this list to edit its macro in the New Macro field.

Hotkey Field
Strike a new Hotkey (keyboard or mouse) in this field to create a new hotkey. If the hotkey already exists, it will auto-select it in the Hotkey list and fill the New Macro field. Striking the same hotkey twice creates a DoubleTap hotkey.
Hitting Escape here will unfocus the Hotkeys field and clear any entires in the Hotkey and New Macro fields.

New Macro Field
Edit or create a macro here. When a hotkey is selected or struck, this field is updated with its current macro. This field is disabled until a Hotkey is selected in the Hotkey field. You may hit Ctrl + S to save the Hotkey Definition.

Current Assignment
Shows the macro currently assigned to the selected Hotkey. This is for reference only while editing. It updates when you save or select a Hotkeys.

Insert Macro Command
Small button next to the New Macro field. Click to open a menu of Macro Commands. You can also right click the field to access this menu. Manual typing is also supported. This button is disabled until a hotkey is selected.

Save Hotkey Button
Saves the hotkey from the Hotkey field with the macro in the New Macro field. If the hotkey already exists, its macro is updated. This writes to your INI file. Disabled if nothing was changed.

Delete Hotkey Button
Deletes the selected hotkey from the Hotkey list. This cannot be undone, so it's a good idea to export your Hotkey first.
