jerrodh Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Is there a way on a standard keyboard with Windows 7 that you can setup a single hot key for multiple keystrokes. Its for a program at work that I have to use 100's of times in a single day. The process would be. F4, M , ALT + R, ALT + V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 You can do that with software. I use a macro program for keystrokes like that at work. It works well. TypingMaster's QuickPhrase is the name of it. I am using a very old outdated version that is stupid simple. I can't find it the old version anyone on the internet. I can e-mail you the program if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Look up Autohotkey. Guy at work uses it a lot here. Works pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 +2 for auto hotkey. Can build a macro to not only replicate keystrokes but mouse clicks, text box selections, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrodh Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ok I have the autohotkey software working. I found the autoscriptwriter and it appears to record the key strokes I need and I can save it as a file. But how do I hot key it to a given key on my keyboard?

jerrodh Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Update I've actually learned how to put runt he script with the autohotkey icon on a desk top how can I change it to be used from a single keystroke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
