Documentation

This page provides an overview of the official AutoHotkey documentation and community-maintained translations.

Official English Documentation

Offline documentation (a .chm file) is included in the installer and zip downloads.

Source code is available on GitHub.

Issues and suggestions can be reported on GitHub or in the forums.

Available Translations

These translations are maintained by the community and may sometimes be out of date.

If you'd like to help with a translation, check out the project links above or see How to contribute.

JavaScript

The documentation uses JavaScript, a scripting language built into web browsers, to support interactive features that are not available in plain HTML. JavaScript is enabled by default in all common browsers, and we recommend keeping it enabled to improve the documentation usage.

The available features are heavily inspired by those found in classic CHM help files:

• a sidebar with elements such as:
  • the Contents tab to easily navigate the documentation
  • the Index tab to open pages by common keywords and categories
  • the Search tab to perform text searches with optional term highlighting
  • a list of the current page's headings
• a toolbar with tools such as:
  • language selection
  • version selection
  • editing the current page on GitHub
  • back/forward navigation
  • zooming text
  • printing the current page
  • opening the current page in the default browser
  • toggling dark/light theme
  • changing initial help settings
• code box improvements such as syntax highlighting and downloading code
