Learning how to use AutoHotkey has been life-changing. There are many games I can’t play due to muscle disease, but AHK expands the amount I can play. I do things like combine a series of inputs into one, map keyboard inputs to hardware the game doesn’t support, and even create mouse controls for games that don’t have any. I also made some GUIs to help me write scripts with fewer inputs. AHK has the concept of hotstrings which are really handy. For example, if I want to expand an abbreviation as I type, it’s as simple as ::btw::by the way It’s not limited to text replacement. You could easily use it to launch programs or whatever you want. Another thing I did was change the “hold space to continuously paint” functionality on wplace to be a toggle controlled with the mouse. Which allows me to participate much longer before my arms give out.
