This page contains help on making a simple and powerful '''macro system''' in NetHack.

== Installation ==
This was tested on: ''WinXP SP3 + nethack-343-win'' <tt>(NetHackW.exe)</tt>
*Download ''AutoHotkey Basic'' installer http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
*Install ''AutoHotkey Basic''
*Create <tt>runmeonce.ahk</tt> ''AutoHotkey'' script containing following code in your NetHack directory:
;This is NethackW macro system script
;DO NOT edit unless you know what you're doing
#SingleInstance ignore

MsgBox 16, Error, Icon is missing! Make sure if any file with .ico extension is present in Nethack directory.
Run http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Macro#icon

*Run <tt>runmeonce.ahk</tt> to compile a script
== In-game usage ==
*Run <tt>NHLauncher.exe</tt> to start NetHack.
*Press <tt>CTRL+M</tt> during the game and follow the on screen instructions to add a new macro action
Example: If you want to make a macro for casting your first spell (for instance to cast ''Extra healing'' on yourself)
press CTRL+M
Input trigger key: F1
Input macro action: Za.
Macro has been created and can be used immediately.
*To view a full list of created macro triggers and actions press <tt>CTRL+M</tt> then <tt>ENTER</tt>
*To delete a macro press <tt>CTRL+M</tt> next input it's trigger key and leave macro action empty. You will be asked to remove it.
*Press <tt>CTRL+W</tt> and input a keyword. You will be redirected to appropriate WikiHack article.

== Sample macros ==
There are already few macros in standard <tt>trigger.ahk</tt> file. Seaching macro can be removed only by editing a file so, if you don't need it you'll have to edit it by yourself.
Included macros:
*Diagonal directions key mapping for laptops with uncomfortable position of <tt>[Home, End, Page Up, Page Down]</tt> keys changed to <tt>CTRL+[A, Z, S, X]</tt>.
*Searching for 5 turns by pressing / key.
*<tt>F12</tt> sorts inventory letters
*<tt>ALT+[Direction]</tt> opens a door
*<tt>CTRL+[Left, Right]</tt>Scrolls map smoothly. Change variable ''MapScrollSteps'' in <tt>trigger.ahk</tt> to adjust scroll range.
You can make your own macros during the game as well. Examples:
*<tt>TAB</tt> key to apply an oil lamp.
*<tt>F1,F2</tt> to cast offensive spells.
*<tt>F3,F4</tt> to wear different sets of armor.
*<tt>k</tt> for using a key/lockpick instead of kicking.
