New player here and want to take a quick survey. Does everyone click an awful lot on the same things?

For War in the East, I wrote a bunch of autohotkey scripts to let me do things like set airgroup ranges very quickly with one keystroke (replacing, say 7-10 ones that you have to do over and over and over again).

For WITPAE so far I�ve found that binding Esc to my mouse side key works wonders.

Question is what are other super repetitive things to be done that can�t be automated or done in bulk? I�m thinking like, for example, pressing another auxiliary mouse key would let you click �set TF/LCU destination� without squinting and trying to hit the tiny radio button.

Would there be any interest in having further addendums to this modest but arthritis-preventing tool?

That would be a terrific relief!

Not sure how well hot keys will adapt to this environment but will be interested in anything that you develop.

I've been looking into scripting, but there are challenges with this technique as well.
