Collection of my AutoHotkey v2 scripts for German keyboard layout issues and Windows 11 quality-of-life improvements, now merged into one big file.
ISO-DE (QWERTZ / German) keyboards make many special characters hard to reach:
AltGr + Q = @is awkwardCtrl + Z = Undoinstead ofCtrl + Y(I mean.. why? It would be so much more easier to reach, right next toCtrl + X,Ctrl + CandCtrl + V)
This script also remaps AltGr combinations to Alt for easier access.
Undo-Shortcut-Fix
Ctrl + Y= Undo
Special Characters (System-wide)
Alt + Q = @,Alt + E = €,Alt + M = µ, etc.Alt + 2/3/7/8/9/0/ß/+ = ² ³ { [ ] } \ ~- Works everywhere
Firefox Tab Navigation
Alt + A= Previous tabAlt + D= Next tabAlt + W= Restore closed tab
Excel Sheet Navigation
Alt + A= Previous sheetAlt + D= Next sheet
Windows Virtual Desktop
Win + A= Previous desktopWin + D= Next desktop
Everything shortcut + disable Feedback Hub
Win + F= F14 (Because Search should be on Win + F imho)
Fast single Backtick deployment :D
Alt + #= ` (Press 1x and get the Backtime once. No need for double press).
Word Dark Theme Fix
-
F24— Workaround for a Word Dark Mode rendering bug (German localization). When using the Black Office theme, the Navigation Pane or Search Results Pane occasionally renders text in black-on-black, making it unreadable. This macro forces a theme cycle (Black → White → Black) to trigger a UI redraw.German Word only. The Backstage keyboard shortcuts (
Alt+D → T → Y2) are localization-specific and will not work in other language versions.I mapped it to
MO(1) + F12via QMK/Vial.
Zone-Identifier-Script
F23= my Zone-Identifier-Unlocker-Script I mapped it toMO(1) + F11via QMK/Vial.
