+; HELLO PEOPLES!
+; IF YOU ARE NEW TO AUTOHOTKEY, YOU MUST AT LEAST TAKE THE FOLLOWING TUTORIAL:
+; https://autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm
+;
+; You will need to know some basic scripting to custom tailor most
+; of these scripts to your own machine, if you want to use them!
+; VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
+; This file works in tandem with ALL_MULTIPLE_KEYBOARD_ASSIGNMENTS.ahk.
+; All the functions from HERE are actually CALLED from keyboard shortcuts
+; in THAT script. I had to do it this way because of the Stream Deck(s)...
+; But you can put your key bindings and functions in the same script if
+; you want.
