On a lines-of-code basis, AutoHotkey.exe is over 95% the original work of its authors. However, it does use AutoIt source code for the commands listed at <a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19710#19710" title="autohotkey.com">http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1<nobr>9<wbr></nobr> 710#19710</a autohotkey.com> . In addition, the following external tools distributed with AutoHotkey are 99% the work of AutoIt authors Jonathan Bennett and Larry Keys: ahk2exe, AutoScriptWriter, and Window Spy.

The core syntax of AutoIt v2 (and by extension, AutoHotkey) was derived directly from Microsoft's ScriptIt, whose syntax is described at <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/winntas/downloads/scriptit.mspx" title="microsoft.com">http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/winntas/<nobr>d<wbr></nobr> ownloads/scriptit.mspx</a microsoft.com>
