Keyboard Combinations

If you want to use a keyboard combination with the FTW Transcriber, such as using CTRL-G to point to the FTW Transcriber's default timestamp key, which is F9, use this page to create a script for that purpose. The process is fairly simple but the steps must be followed carefully. First you must download and install AutoHotKey, which is small and quick to install. Download it from here and double-click it to install. Then carefully follow the instructions below, which will create an .ahk file. Download the .ahk file, and, using the guidelines at the foot of this page, place that .ahk file in the appropriate folder on your computer.







If your desired key combination is not shown above, contact us and let us know what combination you need.

When you have made your three selections above, your script will appear in the box below, and below the box you will see a link to download an .ahk file.

Once you have downloaded the .ahk file, you need to decide where to put it on your computer. You have two options:

EITHER
- Place it in any random folder on your computer. You will then have to double-click it every time you want your keyboard combination to work.
OR
- Place it into your Windows Startup folder, then it will run every time you start Windows and you will never have to remember to run it manually. To find your Windows Startup folder, we offer a small file which you can download to anywhere on your computer and double-click it to open that folder automatically. Get it here.

When you have opened your startup folder, place inside it the .ahk file that you downloaded. Then restart your computer and your new key combination should work from then on.

If you require help, please contact us.
