Thanks for creating the repo!

Suggestion: I'm not an expert in game automation scripts, but I noticed  a
20 second sleep in the beginning of your Devil May Cry 4 autohotkey script.
Would it be possible to replace that with an event listener which triggers
the script when the game finishes loading?
I see autohotkey has API's for COM objects and window handles like OnWin,
winExist and/or ComObj which could be worth checking
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/56987-com-object-referenc
e-autohotkey-v11/  hope it helps!

That being said, good job with the scripts so far!

Cheers,
Aaryaman
