AutoHotkey

I have been using AutoHotkey to do keyboard remapping for more than a year now. It has given me a very significant improvement in typing speed, but more importantly less strain in my fingers.

I do the following remappings:

  • V-->space
  • Space-->shift
  • CapsLock -->V (I never use CapsLock, so I don't remap anything to it)
  • F4--> Ctrl+S (save)
  • F5--> Ctrl+C (copy)
  • F6--> Ctrl+X (cut)
  • F7--> Ctrl+V (paste)
  • F9 --> Ctrl+Backspace (full word backspace)
  • BackSpace-->J
  • J-->BackSpace

I don't necessarily expect that everyone will find these remappings useful, but I expect that everyone could benefit from some remappings.
