You can use scripts to automate tasks, or to provide functionality not directly available through UltraMon.
Scripts which manipulate the active (or foreground) window, for example move or maximize it, need to be run via hotkeys. To do this, go to UltraMon Options > Hotkeys, and add a new 'Run application or script' hotkey.
Other scripts can be run directly, or via UltraMon's Shortcuts menu. To run a script from UltraMon's Shortcuts menu, copy the script to your shortcuts folder. Go to Options > Profiles and Shortcuts for the location of this folder, or choose Shortcuts > Manage Shortcuts from the UltraMon menu to open the folder.
See the UltraMon Help for information on creating your own scripts.
