AutoHotkey to the rescue!

When I’m working within DriveWorks and tables, I will build all the column index values as variables so I can reference them rather than a number. However, since my memory is short, I constantly flip back and forth or take a screenshot and put Snip & Sketch on the other screen. When I was out with only my laptop, I noticed that this process became cumbersome.

Those familiar with my workflows know that I’m a power user of AutoHotkey to automate many mundane tasks, and I will often apply AutoHotkey to solve the issue for these little time savers.

With the code snippet above, my workflow can be screenshot, Control + Spacebar, and then get back to DriveWorks writing my variables. This action will now keep that snip and sketch tool “on top” or the frontmost window on the screen regardless of what application you’re using. It’s little things like this that I add to my workflow that improve my efficiency even a tiny amount.
