Hi there! Great question—WinRAR absolutely has built-in command-line functionality that you can pair with AutoHotkey to create a custom hotkey for extracting compressed files, so you don’t have to rely solely on third-party scripts. Let me walk you through how to set this up, plus some context on the alternatives you found.

First, let’s cover the WinRAR command-line basics:

• You’ll need the full path to your WinRAR executable (typically C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe—adjust this if you installed it elsewhere)
• The core extract command uses the x flag (to preserve folder structure) or e flag (to dump all files directly into the destination folder). Add -y to auto-confirm all prompts (like overwriting existing files):

  WinRAR x "path/to/your/archive" "path/to/destination" -y
  

Here’s a simple, flexible AutoHotkey script example that works with most archive formats WinRAR supports (not just .rar). Let’s say we use Ctrl+Shift+E as our extraction hotkey:

^+e::
    ; Grab the selected file from File Explorer
    WinGet, selectedFile, SelectedFiles, A
    if (selectedFile = "") {
        MsgBox, Please select a compressed file first!
        return
    }
    ; Set your WinRAR executable path
    winrarExe := "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe"
    ; Extract to the same folder as the archive
    SplitPath, selectedFile,, destFolder
    ; Run the WinRAR command
    Run, % """winrarExe"" x ""selectedFile"" ""destFolder"" -y"
    MsgBox, Extraction finished!
return

As for the community scripts you came across: while they can get the job done, many are limited (like only supporting .rar files). Using WinRAR’s native command line gives you support for .zip, .7z, .tar, and more, making it a more versatile solution.
