As my readers may or may not have noticed, I have begun posting on WCReplays forums in green. ‘Pretty nifty’, you say, ‘but it’s not worth the trouble’.

And you’re right, it is not worth the trouble; Wrapping [color=Green] & [/color] around every post is more tedious than shaving.

Fortunately, Autohotkey solves! Autohotkey enables you to create a custom key macro that will wrap the color tags for you. I chose “ctrl + windows key + c” as my macro. Here’s the Autohotkey code:

^#c::
Send ^a^x[color=green]^v[/color]
return

What that actually does is ctrl-a, ctrl-x, [color=green], ctrl-v, [/color], i.e., select your post, cut, type the opening tag, paste your post, type the closing tag.

That’s it!
