There are two classes of computer users, the first type is the one that relies on the mouse on anything else in all the tasks that it performs on his computer, and the second type is the one that depends on the keyboard and uses shortcuts in order to speed up tasks and perform many operations in record time. It is this last type that this post will interest you today
In this topic, we will learn about a special tool, ShortKeeper, which is a keyboard shortcut manager for automating regular tasks. This tool allows you to perform many of the usual tasks on your computer through keyboard shortcuts, whereby you can, for example, open a document or webpage, insert or save text, or quickly launch any program
Of course, this tool allows you to edit and delete any shortcut, and this is the difference between "ShortKeeper" and other similar programs that you will find on the Internet
To create shortcuts, the program includes the "AutoHotkey" platform, making it easy to create shortcuts for common tasks. Once inside the interface, you will notice that it is divided into three tabs. We'll focus on the "Shortcuts" tab which has three panels: in the section on the left, the commands to set hotkeys (open document, copy text, paste, save, etc.) will be listed
In the middle section, you'll select an action or shortcut key (linked to the command). For example, if you choose to run webpage in the command, you will specify in the settings which website to open .. in the left part of the interface, the results of the action you took will be displayed.
There are no restrictions for adding quick access to regular tasks. The only limitation you'll find is in the command options, because you won't be able to add the command manually
