While having heard of AutoHotkey a long time ago I just started using it and it's extremly useful.

One example would be opening wikipedia with the clipboard content as search string. It just takes 3 lines to assign that task to 'Windows Key + W'. I can't grasp why they didn't recommend us student at computer science to get proficient with it. It"s useful for automating common tasks.

It"s much easier to get results for learning programming through automating task with autohotkey than it's through learning it with simple python programs that serve no use and are just for pratice.

 #w::
Run, <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%clipboard%>
return

I wish someone would have told me to get proficient in it years ago.
