This is free, simple software for entering text strings using keyboard shortcuts.
It is available from https://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/QuickTextPaste:
Click “Download,” then click “QuickTextPaste.zip” – the download should begin automatically (see video below for demo)
Extract the files and open the file “QuickTextPaste.exe” to run the program (see video below for demo)
Note: Alternatively, the software is available from several other sites (search for Quick Text Paste latest version download). Be aware that very old versions remain available online; you should download version 8.03 or higher.
The program comes pre-populated with sample shortcuts. Feel free to delete these by right-clicking.
It is straightforward to create a new shortcut: Enter your text string in the “Add text” box; use the dropdown menus at the bottom to assign a keystroke; then click “Add.” The new shortcut will appear in the upper pane, and is active immediately. (See video below for demo.)
The keyboard shortcuts are active everywhere on your computer (FOLIO, Connexion, email, web browser, word documents, etc.), so take care not to assign key combinations that you are using elsewhere.
The shortcuts stop working when you restart your computer, so you may wish to pin the program someplace easily accessible. To reactivate the shortcuts, merely open the program.
