Modifying selected text with Autohotkey
Autohotkey is an amazing tool to define hotkeys such as s# that get automatically expanded to \section{}. On earlier occasions I had already written some blog posts on this topic. Today (encouraged by a question on tex.stackexchange) I managed to compile a short script, which takes some selected text, inserts a specific command and pastes the selected text again. Quite helpful if one want’s to define a shortcut to e.g. make the selected text bold.
