What does an asterisk mean at the beginning of an AHK script's line?
Fires the hotkey regardless of the modifiers being held down. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm Wildcard: Fire the hotkey even if extra modifiers are being held down. This is often used in conjunction with remapping keys or buttons. For example: Win+C, Shift+Win+C, Ctrl+Win+C, etc. will all trigger this hotkey.
