Software Update: AutoHotkey 1.0.44.09

Just over two weeks after the previous release, the makers of the AutoHotkey program have already prepared the next version. This time it is about 1.0.44.09, which from the usual download page can be brought in in different versions. AutoHotkey is developed in C++ and allows you to put frequently used keystrokes, actions and/or button combos with the keyboard, mouse and gamepad behind a hotkey, so that the respective action is performed in one go. It is also possible to convert previously scripted AutoIt2 key combinations to the AutoKey scripting language. You can read about the changes made in the 1.0.44.09 release below:

1.0.44.09

• Fixed hook hotkeys like $^b not to fire twice when a similar, key-up hotkey exists (like “#b up” ).
• Fixed one too many backspaces in asterisk hotstrings whose next-to-last character is a dead key.
• Fixed “Gui Color” to work after the background color was previously changed to “default”.
• Changed “if var is xdigit” to tolerate a 0x prefix.
• Added command “Gui +LabelMyGui” to support custom label names (eg “MyGuiClose” instead of “2GuiClose”). This also allows multiple GUI windows to share the same set of labels.
