Hi. First off, no, I don't have a keyboard with macro keys, I just wanna use some of the many keys I have that I don't use. Now to my firstworldproblems
Yesterday I donated to a DM server so I could get a reserved slot. I later found out it only works if I put in the connect string every time... Yes, of course this is a bit annoying. I have tried just setting binds to connecting to the server but guess what - it only works when you are already on another server, not in the in-game menu. I also find that I could do some other useful stuff with that
So anyway, I'm looking to somehow make my own script or maybe someone knows a good program to do this? Other suggestions for solutions to the problem are also welcome

then

use the third part (where it starts with $F1) and you will have what you want more or less.

Just as an FYI, AutoHotKey spawned from AutoIt3, it was built off of what AutoIt had :)

AutoIt3 is what you want!

I do all of my programming in it but it started out as a simple macro language. So it is easily capable of what you want and is really simple to learn.
Just a little example, this is all it would take to create this macro.
HotKeySet("`", "Connect")
Func Connect()
Send("connect:192.168.0.1")
EndFunc
While 1
Sleep(10)
WEnd

Holy shit guys, after loads of googling I couldn't find any of this.
Thanks for your help!!!
EDIT: Also I have a question about this, as random as it may seem. Does any of this cause any input lag? Am I wrong to say that as you press down a key, it then looks for if that key was one of the scripted ones and then only after it will execute in game actions? or does this sound like total bs and I am completely wrong? :D

alias "dm" "[connect string]"
Type dm in console to get connected to your wanted server.
You can replace "dm" with whatever letters you want.

^ Sounds like the better and more legit source!
But still, learning AutoIt will be handy!
