AutoTextTyper is a contextual menu plugin that lets you quickly and easily add commonly used text, such as email addresses, web sites, addresses, company names, signatures, form letters, and more, to a list of items in a contextual menu. You can then select any of those items from the menu and have them automatically typed into any application that supports contextual menus. You can also associate a key combination (a Hot Key) with a macro and use that Hot Key to invoke the macro.
What does AutoTextTyper require to run?
AutoTextTyper should run on any Power Macintosh running Mac OS 8.1 or later. AutoTextTyper works great with Mac OS 9.0. The contextual menu features only work in software that supports contextual menus. Hot keys can be used in any application though.
How do I use AutoTextTyper?
Installation:
To install, drag AutoTextTyper to your System Folder (the Finder will automatically place it in the Contextual Menu Items folder) and restart. Once restarted, control-clicking in any contextual menu-aware application (e.g. Finder, Claris Emailer, Internet Explorer, etc.) will show the contextual menu with a new "AutoTextTyper" sub-menu. You can use the AutoTextTyper sub-menu to add, edit, remove, and use macros.
Adding Macros:
To add a macro, select "Add Macro" from the AutoTextTyper menu. You will be presented with a dialog allowing you to enter a name for the macro, an optional hot key, and the text to type when the macro is invoked. Once you enter this information, click OK and the macro will be added to the AutoTextTyper menu.
Using Macros:
To use a macro that you have previously added, just select it from the AutoTextTyper menu or type the hot key you gave to the macro and it will be typed automatically.
