+# Notepad2-mod AutoHotkey customization

+This folder contains an example [AutoHotkey](https://autohotkey.com/) script to change key bindings and do other useful things with Notepad2 given its lack of configurability for the average user.
+
+The script makes use of [SendMessage](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644950.aspx) Windows calls to Notepad2 operations. These are listed in brief below:
