Version 3.0

Major Enhancements

Multiple files open at the same time
Now, more than one macro (.shk) file may be open at the same time. For corporate users, one set of corporate macros may be open and users may also have a customized set of shortkeys open as well. Both may be used without having to open and close files.
Categories to sort shortkeys
Sort the shortkeys into categories to easily find the macros.
Larger size limit per shortkey
Each shortkey can now contain 65,536 characters. The limit in previous was 3000 characters.
Wait for Key Press
The Wait for Keypress function causes the shortkey to pause during playback to allow for user input. Press the key assigned to resume the macro.
Shortkey Delay Feature
Insert delays in the shortkey playback to allow for Windows timing issues or to delay for user input.
Scope setting
Optionally assign the shortkeys to play back in a specific window or windows, rather than defaulting to play back in all programs.
Automatic Backups
Options are available to automatically back up the shortkey macro (.shk) file. A convenient way to keep the data safe.
Shortkey Notes
Insert notes about specific shortkeys to provide any additional details required. The notes are displayed in the ShortKeys window with the other shortkey information.
Modified Date Information
A column in the ShortKeys window displays the last date modified for each shortkey in the file.
