AHK (http://www.autohotkey.com/) -- Global keybindings for any app you want.

Out of curiosity: I use AHK to do basic testing automation for a windows application that I have literally zero ability to control programatically (to achieve actually good automated testing). Anyone have a better option for this kind of use case?

AutoIt is a popular choice:

AHK is based on AutoIt v2.

I've used AHK for the same things - it's about the best free/open source thing I've found, besides just adding a scripting language to your program.

Wow I'd forgotten about AHK. Thanks for reminding me!
