AutoHotKey

AutoHotKey is an excellent which can customize keyboard/mouse shortcuts. It provides a simple script language which can be used to write scripts describing keyboard/mouse shortcuts. I am surprised that AutoHotKey provides abundant functionality which can be used in your scripts, e.g. get a file from a URL address, read/write file, control all aspects of window...

Besides, there are some available scripts on line which implement some common requirements, like window drag...
You can see some good ones here. If you want more, this forum includes thousands of scripts.

Among them, I found Niftywindow is a free one which implements lots of new functionality. So I downloaded it and modified the source file to fit in my need. It provides so many features so that some of them will not be used frequently. I chose some shortcuts which would be used by me in everyday using.
