Using ; as a hyper key blew my mind, like the article recently about how a certain developer calls all of his scripts ',something' so if he want to run a cli command of his, pressing comma then tab will show only his scripts, so ',py(tab)' won't have 15 pythons in it.

I had almost used up all combinations of Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Win and letters at one point, and still never thought of making my own hyper key. It's genius.

At my new job I'm afraid to download AHK at all :(

There is a portable version of autohotkey, so you can run it without installation if this would ease your fear.

It's been a bit since I've last used AHK, but I believe you can also compile your script to .EXE and just take that to work with you.
