Shortcut Key Program – An Easy Way to Save Time and Increase Efficiency

 

Time is precious. Time is money. Every minute counts. So what if we told you that we have something which could save you hours? Well, here it is … our shortcut key program from Insight Software Solutions.

 

ShortKeys is a macro utility that helps you set up replacement text or paragraphs for any job required. You specify the shortcut keys and the job will be done. ShortKeys monitors the keyboard activity on a global nature so that anytime a user-defined keystroke combination (shortkey) is typed in; it will be replaced with the predetermined-text.

 

Intended for use with programs that allow text input like word processor, text editor and e-mail programs, this shortcut key program replaces a text string of up to 32 characters with a word, sentence, paragraph or several paragraphs. The result – you save your valuable time. Instead of manually typing in similar text, you can invest your time doing what requires greater attention. Typing errors can be eliminated by this process – simply choose a word or text string and associate it with the replacement text.

 

The number of replacement text combinations per file is unlimited and the replacement text can go up to 65,536 characters in length. We have also introduced 10 new features of ShortKeys which include rich text support, the option to open multiple files at the same time, sort shortkeys into categories to easily find the macros, larger size limit per shortkey, wait for key press function, shortkey delay feature, scope setting, automatic backup, shortkey notes and modified date information.

 

If a typist has one or two standard ways of signing his or her email, like “Thanks, Brenda” or “Sincerely, Brenda”, the employee can map those signatures to abbreviations like “tb” and “sb”. This is especially helpful in industries such as sales, customer service and data entry.
