# 🧩 \\\ WinMacros
**WinMacros** is a lightweight, customizable script for enhancing ***Windows*** productivity with macros and hotkeys. Built using **AutoHotkey**, it offers quick access to system controls, audio management, shortcuts, and more.
> [!NOTE]
> This script works only with AutoHotkey v1.1 (deprecated)
## 📦 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)](https://autohotkey.com/).
### 3. Run the script
- Double-click the `.ahk` file to start the script.
### 4. **Optional: Compile**
- Compile the `.ahk` script into an executable for standalone usage.
## 🔑 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:
```ahk
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:
```ahk
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:
```ahk
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.
4. 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!
