A Major Time Saver: Hot Keys

Hotkeys are a combination of keys that trigger a certain event like pasting some text (think your signature in certain forums, or places where they don’t have a WYSIWYG editor so you have to type in all the tedious html, you could use it to paste header codes for your programs, repetitive emails, email templates and so on…)

You can also use it to open applications. For example, I use my mind map application a lot so I have a special key combination that automatically opens the thing for me. It’s easy, cool and saves a ton of time.

If you’ve never used hotkeys . . . try it out…it will save you a ton of time

The hotkey application highly recommend is autohotkey – if you’ve got the technical background or the time and energy to play around with it.

Here’s a much simpler program you can set up and get running in minutes. It’s HotKeyMaster (free for 30 days and a one time $5 fee after that - worth the time + muscle strain it saves you if you ask me).

On the page entitled Hot Keys to your left, you will find the URL for download as well as some instructions to get you started.
