So I bought an Elgato Stream Deck Mini this week. It's primarily used by streamers but it's a really flexible piece of kit that has many uses.

The video below shows it's bigger sibling.

Now I'm a #spoonie (CFS/ME/FM) with chronic pain issues. All the PC work I do depends on shortcut usage and knowledge. And shortcuts are a painful thing to me.

So I'm going to play with this thing and see if it helps. I'll update with progress :)

@pixelchristi Hopefully that will help with your automation and cut down on your meatspace RAM usage. ;)

An alternative to Autohotkey that I've used because of the sheer coding power behind is AutoIt

https://www.autoitscript.com

You can capture scripts in real time, but also the #coding language is straight forward and very powerful if you are that way inclined to squeeze all the juice out of the automation process.

@spelk yeah. Anything this flexible is good for me. I'll maybe look at scripting further down the line ;)
