Hi Anthony,

I was able to quickly put this together (on Studio 2017), you might need to tweak sleep times or replace keys sent if your Studio instance is not in English but another language:

DetectHiddenText, On
#SingleInstance
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe SDLTradosStudio.exe

^!a::
Send, {AltDown}ft{AltUp}
WinWait, Options
Send, editor
Sleep, 500
Send, auto-pro
Sleep, 1000
WinGetText, OptionsText, Options
IfNotInString, OptionsText, &Enable Auto-propagation
{
    Sleep, 1000
    WinGetText, OptionsText, Options
    IfNotInString, OptionsText, &Enable Auto-propagation
    {
        MsgBox, Something went wrong, please adjust setting manually.
        return
    }
}
Send, !e
Sleep, 500
Send, {Return}
WinWaitClose, Options
Return

Hope this helps!

A dumb question: I am new to AHK - how do I invoke the script?

The hotkey that invokes (runs) the routine is at the beginning, followed by two colons:
^!a
which stands for [CTRL]+[ALT]+[A]

The line #IfWinActive, ahk_exe SDLTradosStudio.exe makes the hotkey context depend, i.e. it only triggers if Studio is the active window; if you press the key combination with another window active, nothing will happen, or better said, any native function linked to the same key combination will be triggered.

You can of course change this hotkey to any combination you prefer, knowing that these are the common modifiers:

• ^ = CTRL
• + = SHIFT
• # = WIN-key
• ! = ALT
