With QuicKeys you can automate common things you do all the time. You can automate your computer in two ways: Abbreviations and Shortcuts. Abbreviations, which are new in QuicKeys 4, are words you type into a document that are then automatically replaced by QuicKeys with longer text. Shortcuts are collections of one or more steps that perform specific tasks on your computer. Make a New Record Shortcuts are the main way you automate your computer using QuicKeys. You can edit your recorded Shortcuts later if you want to have them do something different.
