AutoHotkey is a scripting language that allows users to automate tasks on a Windows computer. It can simulate keystrokes, mouse movements, and manipulate windows and controls. By writing scripts, users can create custom shortcuts, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance productivity. AutoHotkey scripts are stored as plain text files with the ".ahk" extension.

To assign a hotkey using AutoHotkey, you need to specify the key combination you want to use in the script. For example, if you want to use the Ctrl+Alt+T combination, you can write ^!T:: in your script. After the double colons, you can add the actions or commands you want to execute when the hotkey is pressed.
(In my file example I use f5:: which is my "hotkey for holding F")

To create a basic AutoHotkey script, you can open any text editor and save the file with the ".ahk" extension. Write the desired commands using the AutoHotkey syntax, such as defining hotkeys, sending keystrokes, or manipulating windows. Save the file and run it by double-clicking on it.


Instructions on what to do/how to use AutoHotKey (ahk)

1. Using the link at the top download AHK and install the file in any location / "run" auto hot key
   
2. In a location you can find at a later time (I used desktop) create a new text file (or new ahk file) with your "favorite" text editor (I use notepad++)
   
3. Copy and paste the information from the spoiler to your new .AHK file (I named mine hold F.ahk)
   
4. Check the info and, change if you like, the "hotkey" I used F5 and it doesn't try to activate anything in steam or on windows just run's my "macro"
   
5. After you save the file, exit your text editor and run the file. There will be no "notice" that the file is running in the background other than looking in the show hidden icon area in the bottom right corner (usually) under the ^ and seeing the Auto Hot Key ... H ... icon.
   
6. In game when you want to "hold F" just press f5. when you're finished "holding F" Press F5 again.
   
7. Enjoy! (use at your own risk, I haven't had any issues, but once "forgot" to unhold F and tried to access something, started another project, thats about it. Remember to turn off your "hold F" off when you're done with it.

VoiceAttack here on Steam can do something similar as well, I believe. Not my kinda thing but if that's your float, there are multiple boats at your disposal.

Programmable keyboard especially a corsair with icue is much easier.

Wait until you need to hold F for 30+ minutes for one item. Nobody should have to do that.

Bro out here pretending like he didn't hold F to craft an item faster. Aigh bro, you the smartest person alive

im certainly not spending 30 min pressing a button to make it faster... not once

[Tzunny]

They should remove this hold-F to do anything in game, just pres it once and autodoing whatever you do...
