It still tickles me that many Linux distros come with a tool like this preinstalled (https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Apps/DiskUsageAnalyzer). Ah, the good ol' Windows days of having to hunt down tools that were actually useful. Far in the rearview mirror for me.

Google says there are options for autohotkey too, although some are works in progress:
