Is anyone using Autohotkey for creating shortcuts for menus and tools?

I use a script for a modeless bookmarks menu that uses Autohotkey. It works very well.

I use Autohotkey for Finale. There's can be a learning curve and certain experimentation involved for some things, mainly dealing with timing issues. For simple things like menu shortcuts, I think you're better off using the TGTools "Menu shortcuts" that comes with Finale. But I'm happy to try to answer your questons.

Thank you.
Okay, a simple question, I don't know how to begin?
If anyone has already something that works with Finale I could use and tweak.
