📦 Installation

1. Download the repository

• Clone this repository or download the ZIP.

git clone https://github.com/fr0st-iwnl/WinMacros.git
cd WinMacros

2. Download and install AutoHotkey

• Make sure you install this version AutoHotkey v1.1 (deprecated).

3. Run the script

🔑 Customize Keybindings

To update the hotkeys:

1. Open the script in a text editor

   • Right-click on the .ahk file and select Edit Script.

2. Locate the keybinding variables

   • In the script, you’ll find a section named ;--------[ VARIABLES ]--------.
     Here, keybinding variables are defined, such as:

     fileExplorerKey     := "!e        # Alt + E"
     powershellKey       := "!t        # Alt + T"

3. Update the hotkey assignment

   • Change the key combination for any variable to your preferred hotkey.
     For example, to change the File Explorer shortcut from Alt+E to Ctrl+Shift+E, update the variable:

     fileExplorerKey := "^+e       # Ctrl+Shift+E"

4. Save and reload the script

   • After editing, save the file and reload the script by right-clicking the running AutoHotkey icon in the system tray and selecting Reload Script.

🎤 Configuring Audio and Microphone Devices

To set up audio and microphone muting functionality, follow these steps to configure your device IDs:

Step 1: Find Your Device IDs

1. Open the FindAudio.ahk file.
2. Run the script, and it will display the available devices and their corresponding IDs.
3. Take note of the ID numbers for your mic and audio devices.

Step 2: Update Your Device IDs in the Script

Once you have your device IDs, follow these steps:

1. Open the WinKeybinds.ahk file in a text editor.

2. Find the lines containing the following:

   SoundSet, +1, MASTER, mute, 2  ; Replace 2 with your audio device ID <--- IMPORTANT
   SoundSet, -1, MASTER, mute, 2  ; Replace 2 with your audio device ID <--- IMPORTANT
   
   SoundSet, +1, MASTER, mute, 3  ; Replace 3 with your audio device ID <--- IMPORTANT
   SoundSet, -1, MASTER, mute, 3  ; Replace 3 with your audio device ID <--- IMPORTANT

   • The number 2 and 3 are the default device IDs for your audio/mic device.

3. Replace all instances of 2 and 3 with the correct ID numbers you found in FindAudio.ahk.

Now, your audio and microphone muting hotkeys will work with your custom devices!
