NAME

typertask - automate keyboard typing

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/typertask

typertask [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

DESCRIPTION

typertask is designed to help you by automating your keyboard typing. typertask does this by looking for 'signals' and then auto typing longer phrases. For example, you may type your signature many times a day. With typertask you can just type 'mysig' (or any other signal), and your full signature will automatically be typed, while you are working in any program.

The basic format of the typertask mappings file is:

  Trigger=Type This Text     (one per line)

Signals can be either text or key combinations:

  text=This was launched by a text trigger!
  {control}{shift}{alt}W=You just pressed "Control + Shift + Alt + W"

Hint: Please note that some key combinations may conflict with the operating system. For example 'Control+C' is the universal combo for 'Copy'. Avoid these combos when setting signals. Use 'Control+Shift+Alt' combos, or use text signals.

For more detailed information see typertask.Readme(1) in the HTML documentation.
