Hacker Typer style application for Windows

Yes, you can use AutoHotKey. I'm sure somebody else could whip this up in no time, but I can at least imagine a possible structure to the script:

  1. Define a Suspend hotkey and start suspended, so that you can use your keyboard when you don't want to be mashing. Alternatively, or in addition, use #IfWinActive to restrict the mashing-keys function to the one window within which you will be doing this.
  2. Read a plain-text file into memory.
  3. Stack multiple hotkey definitions for pretty much every key on the keyboard for your one script action.
  4. Use StringLeft and StringTrimLeft to retrieve a single character from your big variable and delete it from the variable.
  5. Use Send to send the character that you grabbed. You may need to do a little replacement or conditional to handle sending {Enter} and {Tab}, but maybe not.

Here's my script:

#UseHook        ; Avoid loops of the Send command triggering the hotkey again.
AutoTrim, Off   ; Don't auto-trim spaces and tabs from the beginning and end of the sourcetext.
SendMode InputThenPlay  ; Try to prevent the user from corrupting the buffer text.

Suspend, On     ; Start suspended

FileRead, MasherBuffer, magic-button-masher-text.txt

You can make this only work in Notepad by uncommenting the #IfWinActive bit.

I have Ctrl+` defined as a hotkey to suspend the script.
