Since in Windows you can do most tasks with ALT and CTRL keys, typing is enough to do most tasks. You can also use it for mouse clicks, but that takes a bit more work. The pods that were introduced in FM9 are a problem for AutoIt because the pods don't have standard window names and you can use ALT keys on them, but the main windows work fine.
