Automate keystrokes is very simple with autohotkey scripting languages.
f1:: send ^c

This line of code you can read it as follow, the left site is the keystroke that you can press on your fisical keyboard, the right site is the autohotkey code that will be execute if you press the f1 funtion key on the keyboard.

You can write this code in notepad and save it with example1.ahk
Run it and it is done, the computer is waiting for you to press the f1 key.

If you want to execute a bigger autohotkey script you can use the command return

^!p::
send ^c
a1=%clipboard%
RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, software\vkeystarter 1.0\vClipboard 3\KeyHintText,1,%a1% ; set copy 1
return

The ^ stands for CTRL and the ! stands for ALT
This means press CTRL + ALT + p to run this part of autohotkey.
