Item Settings - Perfect Keyboard


There are two types of items:  Macro items and clip items.  While macro item allows you to perform variety of different tasks (from simple text inserting or starting application to complex scripts) clip item allows you just one thing: pasting clipboard data.  Using clip items you can simply insert pictures, formatted texts, tables or charts to Windows applications.

There are two types of item properties dialog box - simple and normal.  The simple one is intended for text replacement items and doesn't contain attributes like item name, item icon, etc.  It is designed to allow you quickly and easily add/edit text shortcut and long text.  Normal item properties dialog is designed to allow you simple editing of complex macros.   
To access item properties double-click on an item in the main window.
