As someone with quite a few AHK hotstrings, and who does almost all of their day-to-day in Windows, what's the selling point for this software vs AHK? Looks like a great and useful piece of software, but is there a reason to prefer this in cases where AHK is viable?

Hey, the main difference is mostly its cross-platform support, but also forms [1] and (probably) scripts [2]
