AHK Scripts
Dwarf Fortress General AHK Script
These AutoHotKey scripts (ahk scripts) contains hotkeys that automate some repetitive tasks, such as selecting trade goods and designating 100 z-levels of up/down stairs. If any problem or key conflicts are encountered, please leave me a message on the talk page. If you wish a new hotkey, you may leave me a message on the talk page.
The gettage of AHK and this Script (for beginners):
Grab the installer from http://www.autohotkey.com/, and install it.
Next, copy the script you want below.
Nip over to Windows Explorer. Go to where you want to store the script, and, from the right click menu, select new -> autohotkey script.
Edit the script (it's in the right-click menu). Click in the text that appears, and press ctrl-a, ctrl-v, ctrl-s, ctrl-f4.
Now, run the script by double-clicking on it. Now, when you press the key combo, it will start the script.
