We discuss some great AHK Libraries
Channel: AUTOHOTKEY Gurus
Date: 2024-04-09

Just a high-level overview of some very interesting V1 and V2 AutoHotkey libraries.
Learning and utilizing AHK libraries, such as winrt, JavaScript active script, GDI, audio driver, API, UIA V2, OCR, and others, can greatly enhance the functionality and capabilities of AutoHotkey v2 for various programming tasks.
