Direct your [Left Arrow Key] to [Shift]+[Right Arrow Key]

Just a few days ago, one of my friend faced a problem. [Left Arrow Key] of his Laptop Key Board stopped working. I helped him to solve this problem by redirecting that key to [Shift]+[Right Arrow Key].

This is the script to do so:
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#SingleInstance,force
Menu, Tray, NoStandard
Menu, Tray, Add, Run at Startup, startup
Menu,Tray,Add,About,about
Menu,Tray,Add,exit,closescript
+Right::
Send {Left}
return

closescript:
ExitApp
return

about:
MsgBox,This script directs the Shift+Right Arrow Key to LeftArrow key`n{Shift}+{Right Arrow Key}={Left Arrow Key}
return

startup:
FileCreateShortcut,%A_ScriptFullPath%,%A_Startup%/mapping.lnk
IfExist,%A_Startup%/mapping.lnk
{
FileDelete,%A_Startup%/mapping.lnk
FileCreateShortcut,%A_ScriptFullPath%,%A_Startup%/mapping.lnk
}
 return

For Non-AhkScript users, just ask for the .exe file at my Google+ wall and I will send you the .exe file to run the script.

Launch-X(v2.2.0):New Delete Button

Long awaited a very new 'Remove A Button' feature added facilitating the user to remove a Button he/she no longer uses or was added by mistake. Launch-X(v2.2.0)

 

TF Library for Strings

As the name suggest this is an AutoHotkey (AHK) Library with a number of functions to "manipulate"text, both files such as *.txt, *.ahk, *.html, *.css etc AND Strings (or variables). For example you can delete specific lines, replace words or specific lines, number lines, remove or insert columns of text, etc. See the list of functions below for a complete overview.

I faced problems while having work with files to store lists or file name in a text file, I came to know about this library and started using it. Though it is a long set of functions and need to be included as whole as functions randomly call other functions to have a task done. But overall it solves problems and saves our labour.   

Selecting a File or Folder

To select a file/folder or to get the full path of a file/folder, You can follow the following the lines in your script :

Send,{ctrl down}c{ctrl up} ;to copy the file/folder path
ClipWait
FileFullPath=%Clipboard%  ;stores the clipboard in FileFullPath
SplitPath,FileFullPath, name, dir, ext, name_no_ext, drive
MsgBox, ,Selected file,The selected file is %name%.

Sending commands to cmd in Autohotkey

we can send direct commands to cmd thru autohotkey and can get our work done at cmd level.
To send the command we can use the following code:

run cmd.exe
WinWait, ahk_exe cmd.exe ; to make some time difference in the execution of next line
Send cd Desktop{Enter} ; it will change the current directory to the Desktop.
