Keystroke Extension/Program

chicgeek · 05-09-2007, 09:02 PM

Does anyone know of a effective yet simple keystroke extension for FF or a program? Not looking to spend money, though I am looking to simplify one of my tasks.

I only need 6 strokes repeated. Nothing too fancy.

What you need is a "keyboard macro recorder", of which there are many. Workplace Macro (US$25), Smack (US$15), Journal Macro (US$30) and others can be found by Googling "keyboard macro". I'm sure there are free ones out there, too.

Ah, thanks for the search term. I'm all about free - as I said, it's just one simple simple string.

I'll let you know how I fare with my search - thanks!

I'd suggest you download a copy of AutoHotKey. If you're the programming type, it'll be a breeze to use, if not, tell me the sequence of keys you want and I'll make the file you need to run it. I use AutoHotKey for all kinds of things, for example I have a script that at a keypress resizes my browser window to 800x600 px for testing sites.

I'll check it out next time the task comes up - 2-3 days.

Thanks muchly!
