Question / Help I can´t download Autohotkey. Google blocks, it´s not safe ?

[Dihelson Mendonca]

I tried to install autohotkey to manage shortcuts for using in OBS and other windows software, but when trying to download, google blocks and I get a red screen telling that the program is harmful and cannot be downloaded. Now what ? is it really safe ?

AutoHotKey is well-known safe software if downloaded from the official site. We cannot provide support for Chrome or AHK here though, as both are outside the scope of OBS Support.

But you could at least provide this "safe link" to AHK ? I can't find it, even on the official website. It's for me to use with OBS.

Thanks.

You can download autohotkey from Github: https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L/releases
The official website is https://www.autohotkey.com/ but unfortunately Google Chrome is blocking downloads from there. However, the downloaded installer is digitally signed by the developer, there as well as on Github, so it's a false positive.
