Perfect Keyboard for Windows 95/NT ================================== Brief description: Allows you to use shortcuts for frequently used texts ------------------ (phrases, e-mail addresses, C++ constructions, file paths, form templates, etc.). More detailed description: -------------------------- Perfect Keyboard allows you to define shortcuts that, once typed, are expanded to longer text (or to sequence of keystrokes). You can use two types of shortcut -- text shortcut and key shortcut. 1) Text shortcut: when text shortcut is typed, it is expanded to another (much longer) text or several keystrokes. For example, we have shortcut "th" associated with text "Thank you for your prompt answer". When you type (in any Windows program) "th" and press space bar, the text th is deleted and text "Thank you for your prompt answer". is put instead. 2) Key shortcut: Key shortcut works the same way as the text shortcut does, but it is a combination of keys like Ctrl+Shift+n or Alt+Ctrl+t, etc. For example, we have shortcut Alt+Ctrl+t associated with text "Thank you for your prompt answer". When you press Alt+Ctrl+t key combination (in any Windows program) the text "Thank you for your prompt answer". is put. There are some tips how can be the Perfect Keyboard used: 1) Mostly used phrases: Why to type the same phrases again and again. Create a library of mostly used phrases and use it in any wordprocessor or text editor you want. 2) Mostly used file paths: You can predefine shortcuts for your mostly used file paths (documents, projects, source files, etc.). These shortcuts you can use, for example, in Open or Save as dialogues to switch to desired directory or in other (file management) programs to change directory quickly. 3) Windows shortcuts: You can replace Windows keyboard shortcuts (like "Ctrl+Alt+n" for Notepad program- not very intuitive) to shortcuts that are remembered much easier (for example "np" for Notepad program). You can type the shortcut in any program, even in the programs that have no keyboard input (empty desktop, MS Paint, etc.) and the shortcut is performed. 4) Forms templates: If you often fill some forms you can define templates that will fill some default entries (date, time, phrases, etc.) to particular fields of the form. 5) Programmers can define shortcuts for often used programming constructions. Such shortcuts save time and also unify your source code. 6) Mostly used e-mail addresses: You can create a list of your mostly used e-mail addresses. Once defined e-mail addresses can be used not only in your e-mail client(s) when sending mail but also in any other kind of correspondence you type an e-mail address.
