This simple application conveniently puts frequently used text fragments closer at hand. RapidKey's system-tray icon allows you to store frequently used text, create macros, and provide quick access to your favorite folders and desktop shortcuts. Create and store text snippets and easily access them using a hot-key combination, or record keyboard and mouse movements to easily create time-saving macros. You also can use the Fast Macro feature, which allows you to quickly record and play a temporary macro using hot keys. Placing your mouse over RapidKey's icon displays the amount of free memory and total memory available on your hard drive. With its multiple time-saving features, RapidKey can benefit any user who frequently works with the same text or performs the same repetitive actions.

  "Excellent software"

  on November 14, 2004

  Summary: I was so use to using Thebat email client with the macros. Since being frustrated with Thebat, I switched to another email client. I have missed the ability to use macros in typing out repetative text in emails. Found this and love it.
