If you're here, it's probably because you're trying to reach 100% in DARQ and have stumbled across this achievement which is particularly "difficult" and boring to do.

I know there are already guides and videos on this achievement, but no one has solved it like I have... I guess... or I didn't find it... Anyway...

I'm a developer, so by definition I'm lazy. That's why, when something can be solved more easily by programming than by doing it myself (or when it's just fun to do), I give it a try.

After the first attempt to complete this (boring) achievement, I remembered a nice tool to bind keys by programmation and i starting writing a little script.

It's been a while since I finished the game, but I recently found that script and thought "hey why didn't you share it?". So that's what I'm doing, writing my first Steam guide to share this tip with you.

Enjoy :D

Before going any further in this guide, you must first download AutoHotKey v.2.0[www.autohotkey.com].

AutoHotkey is a free, open-source scripting language for Windows that allows users to easily create small to complex scripts for all kinds of tasks such as: form fillers, auto-clicking, macros, etc.

For example, we're going to use it to make a key combination to solve this achievement without touching the keyboard (except once to run the script, of course) !

This guide is only about the script itself, so I'm not going to describe the whole installation process, I think you've got the IQ for it.

1. Download (or copy/paste) one of the following script :
   
   • Qwerty_DARQ_Off_Camera_Achv․ahk[gist.github.com]
     
   • Azerty_DARQ_Off_Camera_Achv․ahk[gist.github.com]
2. Double click on the file to activate the script, it will appear in windows tasks
   (I have a different script name for this example)
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Now, if you press the shortcut [CTRL] + [ALT] + [X], the following sequence of letters will be typed :
   
   • Qwerty : sdddsdddddddsdddwdddsddsaaaaaaasddddds
     
   • Azerty : sdddsdddddddsdddzdddsddsqqqqqqqsddddds
   💡 You can test the script by opening a blank notepad and pressing the shortcut.
   
4. Finally, you can launch the game, go to the puzzle and play the script to get the achievement!

When you're finished, you can close the script by left-clicking in the taskbar.

Here's a quick explanation of the script I made, and you'll see that it's quite simple.

As I said in the summary, there are already guides to do this achievement, so I took one to extract this key combination :
