🪐 Orbit v2.0.1 — Zero-Dependency Install

No AutoHotkey installation required. The AHK v2 runtime is now fully bundled inside the installer.


What changed from v2.0.0

✅ Bundled AutoHotkey v2.0.19 runtime

  • AutoHotkey64.exe ships inside the installer — users no longer need to install AHK separately
  • Orbit spawns the trigger automatically on launch
  • If the trigger crashes or exits unexpectedly, Orbit auto-restarts it after 2 seconds

✅ Auto-start on login

  • On first launch, Orbit registers itself and the AHK trigger in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • Both start automatically every time you log in — no manual configuration needed

✅ Tray → Restart AHK Trigger

  • New tray menu option lets you manually restart the trigger if something goes wrong
