There is a big international community of users and contributors of AutoHotkey, which is a free, open-source utility for Windows. Home is http://www.autohotkey.com/. The primary author is Chris Mallett.

Features:

Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks per manually written macros or by using the macro recorder.
Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse for virtually any key, button, or combination.
Expand abbreviations as you type them.
Create custom data entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars.
Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC? client script.
Run existing AutoIt? v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities.
Convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on computers that don't have AutoHotkey installed.

As new Features MidiToKb: allows all the above features, but adds the following:

touch- and timesensitive input from a Midi Piano Keyboard
making use of WikidPad as frontend and database-engine for storing and calling macros
using fast hash-arrays of KeyKit for convenient storing lots of hotstrings without using up the PC hotstring name space of AutoHotkey
using the KeyKit as kind of userprogrammable server for extensions, that reach from multitasking
- type-, eartraining, sound-skins, Midi- composition to -performance (simple graphics included)

Note: Users of AutoHotkey and MidiToKb may (hopefully) write macros, to emulate TwinWikiBall functions as clientsite prototypes for a later TechnologySolution on the serversite.
