This is a shareware version of ShortKeys, a macro utility allowing you to setup replacement text or paragraphs for any given number of user defined keystrokes. ShortKeys monitors the keyboard activity on a global nature and anytime a user defined keystroke combination is typed in, it will be replaced with the replacement text.
ShortKeys is intended for use with programs that allow text input such as a word processor, text editor, e-mail program, etc. ShortKeys replaces a word with a sentence, paragraph or several paragraphs allowing you to save time by not having to key in the sentence or paragraphs. Errors in typing can be reduced. You simply choose a word and associate it with the replacement text. Enter up to 1000 word and replacement text combinations.
To make it work, run the program and all word and replacement combinations will be active. Once ShortKeys is running, it will monitor all keyboard activity and if one of the specified words is used, then it will be erased and the replacement text will be keyed in its place. You might like to add it to your StartUp group so it is always available.
Uses for ShortKeys are numerous. Here are a few:
