Is it possible to pass a specific config file to youtube-dl without writing all
arguments in command line?
Right now I'm using AHK to input in PowerShell for video
youtube-dl.exe -o '%(playlist_index)s. %(title)s.%(ext)s' -i -f mp4 --write-sub --sub-lang en --yes-playlist ''and for audio
youtube-dl.exe --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 ''Today I wrote the config file in ...Roaming\youtube-dl\config.txt using
video arguments. But sometimes I want to download only the audio format, sometimes I wonder if there is a way to have 2 config.txt files one for audio and one for video.

You can use the --config-location option and have 2 different files, for example video.cfg and audio.cfg. Make sure you specify the full path to the file:
--config-location PATH Location of the configuration file; either the path to the config or its containing directory.Source: youtube-dl/README.md at master · ytdl-org/youtube-dl · GitHub
