AutoHotKey

A really useful tool.
I like to annotate chess-games and post them with diagrams in a lot of spots, I used to have to do a lot of manual editing
to make the diagrams be centered, that was basically done in raw html (which gets sort of nasty).

But then I decided I could automate the whole thing, such that I only needed to copy the picture to my clipboard.
With the image in the clipboard I made the following little ahk script to paste it to the steemit markdown.

This has made my life so much better when I am posting the diagrams.
I hope some of you will find this as helpful as I have, now AutoHotKey is a bitch to figure out, there is a lot of inconsistent stuff going on, and if you program the syntax is really weird, but when it works and you do not need to update it, it is really nice.

Yes, although it can be a little awkward to do anything significant.
