ShortKeys is a macro utility allowing you to setup replacement text or paragraphs for any given number of user defined keystrokes. ShortKeys monitors the keyboard activity on a global nature and anytime a user defined keystroke combination is typed in, it will be replaced with the replacement text.

ShortKeys is intended for use with programs that allow text input such as a word processor, text editor, e-mail program, etc. ShortKeys replaces a text string of up to 32 characters with a word, sentence, paragraph or several paragraphs allowing you to save time by not having to manually type in the sentence or paragraphs. Errors in typing can be reduced. You simply choose a word and associate it with the replacement text. Enter virtually unlimited replacement text combinations per file. Replacement text can be up to 3000 characters.

To make it work, run the program and all word and replacement combinations will be active. Once ShortKeys is running, it will monitor all keyboard activity and if one of the specified words is used, then it will be erased and the replacement text will be keyed in its place.
