This type of program was first brought to my attention in a video by Celestine Chua on her Personal Excellence blog. Click the Command button to choose from functions like Date and Time. A text abbreviation is entered or you can use a hot key. Here are the screens on how the macros are set up. It is so much easier to let the computer insert the date instead of having to pause, check the date and type it. d to expand like this: Tuesday 24 September 2013. This means folders can be displayed in the sequence of date created. I often create folders with a name beginning with today’s date. The cursor is then placed just after the last digit. I frequently use date stamps in file names, in the format of YYYYMMDD so when I type. Perfect keyboard also has functions for date and time. Perfect keyboard then does a backspace, so I found I had to add a space after the replacement text of the macros. The text is automatically expanded once the space key is typed. It is possible to use several letters but I found one letter allows me to type as quickly as possible. I setup each shortcut to begin with a period (.) followed by one letter. Confidential information has been deliberately blurred.Īs you can see I have short cuts for my name, blog address, home address, mobile number, and nickname of ozcaveman which I use as a user name on many web sites and forums. Perfect Keyboard can be downloaded from the MacroToolworks web site. The free program allows you to create 50 shortcuts and the paid version gives you much more. I can type my name with two keystrokes (Period and C) to get Charles Cave. m (Period then the letter M) then Perfect Keyboard replaces it with my mobile phone number. The two main benefits are faster typing and no mistakes. This program converts keyboard shortcuts into text – replacing a couple of keystrokes with larger chunks of text. Recently I started using a Windows program called Perfect Keyboard. Have you ever taken a break from typing to think about how often you type the same things every day? Your name, web addresses, today’s date, your mobile number or text in email messages?
