I've heard good things about Autohotkey, but every time I try to do even the simplest of tasks it becomes a hassle. Like even just clicking on a specific point on your screen you have to know the exact coordinates of the place you want clicked. It seems like it'd be very easy just to record where you want to click.

When I'm working on tasks like that I like to add a hotkey that just puts the mouse's location on a tooltip for me. Sometimes you can just Tab to whatever you're trying to click, too, which is robust to window position.
