Whats the best free macro recorder out there?

I found a couple of free ones that look ok but the downloads are down.

Any help would be appreciated

Do you mean macro that will repeat some keystrokes and mouse movements ?

If so, personnaly, I use AutoHotkey: http://www.autohotkey.com/

It is mainly a scripting language designed to ease interaction with windows (not Windows).

There is a recorder inside the main archive.

AutoIt is just the same thing. In fact, AutoItv2 and AutoHotkey are the SAME thing. AutoItv3 is a bit different.

Thanks a lot, and yes I was meaning a mouse/keyboard recorder type thing.

Cheers Steve.

I can't seem to figure out how to run my scripts i have made in AutoKey, any suggestions?

Just drag the file you created over autohotley.exe. Or if you used the installer, rename it to script.ahk.

Btw, in any macro recorder, always prefer keystrokes to mouse clicks.

Mouse clicks are sometimes dangerous. It depends of where is your mouse when the script starts and where the window is.

In all my script, I use Alt+A/N/F/I/D, SPACE, ENTER, TAB, UP, DOWN.
