Keyboard text macro

[Bert Hibberd]

I'm looking for a small freeware program that loads at startup, uses
very little memory, doesn't put an icon in the system tray, but allows
you to assign commonly used text pieces (e.g. e-mail address) to
simple keyboard combinations.

I'm sure that I've seen such a program around, but can't track it
down.

Thanks

How many abbreviations do you need to be able to use? I know of a few,
which may or may not have tray icons, some of which have
crippleware-type freeware versions that do only a few, etc. If you can
give me more specifics for what you need and what you need to use it in,
I will hunt up my list in the meantime and see what I can find for you.

If you want a non-memory resident solution... create "AutoIt" scripts
and then create shortcuts to those scripts... ShortCuts can have
HotKeys assigned to them... the script would be as simple as...

;script starts here
Send,Some Text that you want to send
;script ends

Shortkeys Lite is free. It normally sits in the system tray but this can be
changed by the user. Strings of text are output, replacing a user-specified
key sequence you would not normally type, e.g. #a #b etc.

Thanks!

I need a utility that will load when windows starts, have a low memory
footprint, preferably does NOT put an icon in the system tray, and
allows me to paste bits of text into what I am working on.

For example: I am writing something in Notepad and need to place my
e-mail address in the note; or a line of characters such as:
"=============================================================";
or a quotation; or etc, etc... To do so I press a couple of characters
(say F10+1, F10+2, etc..) and hey presto the required text is
inserted.

I had such a program last year but I've lost it and can't remember its
name.
