+!!! Make sure that the ip address is edited to match the ip address of your McLighting server !!!
+
+If you are not familiar with AutoHotKey, this tutorial will get you started: https://autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm
+Once you have AutoHotKey installed, double click it to start the script. 
+
+If the Mclighting server goes down for some reason, a socket error notification will appear and you will have to restart the script to reconnect.
+
+The script is not aware of the current state of the McLighting server and will override what is currently being displayed with its own internal values.
+
+This has been tested on windows 7 and windows 10.
+Set the notificationTime variable to the time in seconds that you want the notification to stay on the screen.
+You can prevent notifications from appearing by setting the notificationEnable variable to false.
+
+
+The shortcuts only work on the numberpad and only when num lock is on! If you don't have a numberpad you must change the shortcuts to something else. Just be aware that you might be overrriding previously existing shortcuts! Here is the list of windows shortcuts: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12445/windows-keyboard-shortcuts
+
+The shortcuts are as follows:
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad4 decrements the animation mode
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad6 increments the animation mode
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad5 turns off the lights
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad0 turns on all of the lights to the current color
+
+ctrl+windows+numpadPlus increases the brightness
+
+ctrl+windows+numpadSubtract decreases the brightness
+
+ctrl+windows+numpadMultiply increases the speed
+
+ctrl+windows+numpadDivide decreases the speed
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad7 increments the red component of the current color
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad1 decrements the red component of the current color
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad8 increments the green component of the current color
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad2 decrements the green component of the current color
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad9 increments the blue component of the current color
+
+ctrl+windows+numpad3 decrements the blue component of the current color
