Note: Essential AutoHotkey character references you need to know:ģ. We’ve used Ctrl + Del as the keyboard shortcut, but you’re free to use your preferred key combination. For this, all you need to do is create a file and add the following line: ^Del::FileRecycleEmpty. If you have AutoHotkey on your computer, you can do this more efficiently - with just a hotkey (key shortcut). As time goes on, you need to clear the Recycle Bin to avoid unnecessary use of disk space. On Windows, when you delete a file (not Shift + Delete), it goes into the system’s Recycle Bin. You can replace the keys to fit your purpose. Here, we’re remapping the CapsLock key to function as the Shift key. To remap a key, enter the command in the following syntax: CapsLock::Shift. In the event that you have an unresponsive or broken key on your keyboard, you can use AutoHotkey to map it to a different key so that you can continue to use your keyboard till you get it fixed.


We’ve already covered the basics of AutoHotkey, so make sure you check that out before to have an understanding of AutoHotkey. There are two ways to go about using AutoHotkey scripts: you can either use the user-created scripts available on different forums or create your own script if you can’t find one to suit your purpose.
