Autohotkey? Naw, you wanna setup a daily cron job to read and replace every one of your common typos with the correct spelling. That’s the way, trust me.
Dude, I set up wild crap with Autohotkey, for a job. I had it logging in to vendor websites where it would pull up clients, compare contact info to our local system, check if recent payment had been made, pull appropriate client docs (if not already in our local system), and leave notes for me before moving onto the next client on the list. I had AHK doing most of the job I was hired for.
Thankfully, the multiple vendor websites made occasional changes to their layouts, color schemes, etc. so all my methods of navigation would inevitably break, requiring me to maintain it.
I was also building stuff where it would automatically fire off an email at certain points if there was a special change to tell the client about, if payment wasn’t seen on the vendor site by certain deadlines, etc.
That job eventually fell through for unrelated reasons (they moved me off that to somewhere they needed me more, and several years later got pushed out of that position and the company entirely).
Where do I get a job that let’s me build that stuff again?!
In a perfect world you could get paid to automate stuff with AHK. I wonder if you could market yourself as an AHK consultant where you basically shadow someone’s job for a week and then start figuring out how to automate the tedious stuff.
Personally I like the functionality of AHK but I can’t stand the syntax compared to Python and C. I start with such great plans of what I want to automate but get sick of fighting with the language after about an hour and settle for something simple.
I actually started thinking about exactly this minutes later, and have been VERY excited about trying it. I’ve been unemployed for awhile now, not by choice, and already have diagnosed depression going back years before. Job market stinks and I’m bad at getting hired. BUT this idea actually excites me, in a way I haven’t felt in WAY too long.
I plan to start working on some basic function libraries for myself, rebuilding some things from that old job, and I’ll also be contacting local businesses for a start. The old job was for a small business, so I have a decent feel for how to fit it into places.
You press c and t using the same finger, and i with another. So since you need to use the same finger twice in a row, also moving it a fair distance in between, your other finger just presses the button a little bit too soon, and that’s how you end up with funciton
I just recorded myself typing it a dozen of times, and it always goes as:
F - Left index
U - Right middle
N - Right index
C - Left index
T - Left middle
I - Right middle
O - Right ring
N - Right index
I usually generally follow zones while typing, but for frequent words like this I tend to break it, which mostly make sense, like using middle finger for U to free index finger for N, and then moving it one over for a quick IO without lifting the index from N), but then that CT thing is a decades-long ingrained thing that I didn’t even realize how weird it was until I looked closely at it. It reminds me of that thing that bothers me on my other kb which is ortholinear and I always struggle in games with it because I can’t press 2 while holding Shift and W at the same time. On normal keyboards I use ring fingers and slightly twist my wrist clockwise, but on ortholinear it’s not there, and it’s actually easier to use index finger and twist the other way, or roll middle over without lifting, but it’s very hard to break that habit.
funcitonIdk why but that’s how I type it half the time.
So many of my "-tion"s end up as "-tino"s.
And you can continue typing it that way for as long as you want if you set up autohotkey to automatically fix your typos.

Edit: Daily cron job typo correction.

‘c’ and ‘t’ should definitely be hit with different fingers if you do touch-typing. But with one hand, that’s true.
there’s no ‘i’ on that keyboard?
And two Ls
