For those who have used Battlerecorder will know that there are a lot of hotkeys to control playback without using the "Q+Mouse" interface. This is great if you are doing some filming and have the HUD turned off (which makes the "Q" menu unavailable), except there is no hotkey for restarting playback. This ends up being quite annoying as the game requires you to enter the console to turn on the HUD just to restart playback.
I got sick of this missing feature, so I decided to do something about it.
First download AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com) and install it.
Then copy this code into a new text file, rename the file to "BattleRecorder.ahk".
Now double-click the .ahk file you created to start it.
When in BattleRecorder, use the Alt+H to toggle the HUD on or off. Use Alt+R to restart playback.
Simple, crude, but effective!
