Programmable keystrokes

[WEIRDGUYWTHAKNF]

I have heard of these but don't recall if it is the correct name. Things which are repeatedly typed out like email addresses and the like, I recall them being programmed into key strokes on my friends computer. Anyone know how to help me with this? Thankyou.

Like a Macro? or autofill?

 

[WEIRDGUYWTHAKNF]

Yes, I think macros is it, I have never heard of autofill. I have read a little on macros but I don't completely understand it, how to use it rather. I get a bit lost at times when it comes to the exact syntax used to correctly use cmd

 

[HarriePateman]

Well macros could be coded in VB.

Commonly typed phrases or information can be easily assigned a hotkey (IE: Press Ctrl + M to type a certain phrase). Autohotkey is pretty easy to learn to do basic tasks, and they have a ton of pre-compiled scripts
