Why Did I Download/Buy This?

A lot of the work I do requires repetitive keystrokes. Logging into a test system, standard text in headers, report formats all require repetitive text entry. This program, recommended by a friend, allows me to type in a short code and the keystrokes will automatically play.

How Do I Use This?

I use this for everything from logging into test systems (with various credentials), to putting standard timesheet headers in an electronic notebook.
