Ableton live/Cubase hotkey scripts

Well I've settled On Ableton Live for my main DAW . The work flow is very intuitive. The Browser alone is such a treat to locate clips. The workspace isn't cluttered with a ton of windows like cubase. Live also runs a bit more stable than Cubase, crashes just kill any sort of creative mojo. Cubase has superb midi features and transparent audio warping quality. In the end things are much more productive on Live.

One feature Live didn't have was the custom shortcuts, but that has solved by using AHK, autohotkey. Workflow should definitely increase. Found this from the Ableton forums.

Cubase didn't allow custom keys on certain keys eg ` and tab caps lock etc.
Scripted it to allow the tilde key to toggle between two wrokpaces

Using the script above as a template,i modified my hotkeys. Here's the current script used for Live 8
