1 RapidKey - program description
---------------------------------
1.1 Features of RapidKey
-------------------------
After starting RapidKey you find the RapidKey icon on the taskbar. Then in all Windows applications* you have access to:
- Autotexts (glossary entries)
Autotext is a feature that allows you to store text you use frequently.
You can quickly insert long text passages into any documents like emails,
letters or source codes without retyping or copying and pasting. So you
can store a text passage that you use often, a standard contract clause,
or a mailing address.
It's very easy to use Autotext entries:
1 Type a shortcut.
2 The cursor is now behind the shortcut.
3 Press the Autotext Key combination.
4 The shortcut will be replaced by the full text passage automatically.
Shortcut Result
--------------------------------------------------
dear Dear Sir or Madam,
we thank you for your letter.
--------------------------------------------------
link <A HREF=" "> </A>
--------------------------------------------------
for for (i = 0; i < NUM_STATES; i++) {
}
else {
}
--------------------------------------------------
If no matching shortcut is found, then RapidKey suggests you existing
Autotext entries which have - similar shortcuts
- contain the entered shortcut
So you find the correct Autotext fast, even if you remember only one word
which is contained in the Autotext.
* AutoText function only partly works in some Word and Outlook versions
and in some software suites.
- Macros
Abbreviate your tasks by using macros! Macros reduce many work steps to one
keystroke. You can record keystrokes, mouse clicks, mouse movements and all
other Windows events too.
It's easy to play a macro back:
1 Press the macro key combination.
2 Click the desired macro in the context menu that appears.
- Folders and shortcuts on the desktop
Click the RapidKey icon on the taskbar to see all folders and
shortcuts on the desktop. Point to a folder in order to view what's
in the folder. Click a shortcut to open it.
- Folders/directories
With RapidKey you can start the Explorer in which a desired steward is
opened directly. This saves time.
To access folders needed frequently
1 On the taskbar click the RapidKey icon.
2 Click "Folder favorites".
3 Click the desired folder.
That folder will be opened with the Explorer.

1.4 Remarks about the shareware version
----------------------------------------
RapidKey is distributed as shareware. Shareware is a distribution
method based on honor, and is not a type of software. You are free
to use it for a trial period of up to 30 days. If you find this
program useful and would like to continue using RapidKey, then you
are required to register for only $25. Itís quite simple!
To fill out the order form open "order.txt".
To check whether you have the most recent shareware version
of RapidKey, please check the RapidKey web page at
http://www.neuber.com/rapidkey.
What is shareware?
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
register.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in
the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to
copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific
group. For example, some authors require written permission before a
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low
also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee: if you don't use
the product, you don't pay for it.
LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDIES
THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE TO
YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS LICENSE, UNDERSTAND IT AND AGREE TO
BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, SUPERSEDING ANY PROPOSAL OR PRIOR AGREEMENT, ORAL OR
WRITTEN, AND ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN US RELATING TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS LICENSE.
1.5 Price
----------
For $25 you will receive a registration code that you can use to switch
the shareware version to a registered version. The registration code will
turn off all nag screens and shareware limitations, and work with future
minor upgrades.

2 Installation and uninstallation
----------------------------------
Copy all files of RapidKey in a directory you want and start rapidkey.exe.
No files will be copied into your windows directory, no files in your
windows directory will be changed!
After starting RapidKey you find the RapidKey icon on the taskbar (in your
system tray). When RapidKey runs for the first time, a Shortcut in Autostart
group is created. So RapidKey starts automatically when Windows starts.

click Close. Then run uninstal.exe. That will delete the directory of RapidKey.
Now program is removed from your computer completely!
