Text actions
With text actions, you can automatically paste pre-defined texts to your active
window by pressing the hotkey or by writing a texykey (up to 10 alphanumerical characters starting with a '#') which will then be
replaced by your text.
While using the functionalities of the tool, please keep in mind that:
- Many applications already implement the Ctrl + Alt + key hot keys, or even
disable their repeated use, e.g. Team
Foundation tools in Visual Studio, so only the Win + k combination would work
well
there.
- Also, some applications will disable hot keys with the Windows key so this may
not work in those.
Tip: should you have difficulties with this option and specific applicaitons,
you could consider using the script action instead, with simply your text as the
script content.
In addition, you can use special sequences in your text that will be
automatically replaced when the action is executed. Those are:
-
{0}: will be replaced by your user name, taken from your LDAP Active Directory
if available there, or simply from your OS login name otherwise.
-
{1}: will be replaced by the current date, in the textual format e.g. December
31, 2008.
