Text IT-BO : Paste various pre-configured text messages with the press of a hotkey, with this unobtrusive application designed with gamers in mind
Gamers often need to send similar or even identical messages to other players regularly, and you don’t always have the time to take a break and type something. Fortunately, there are ways to send messages with just a single hotkey.Text IT-BO is a relatively simple application that enables you to store a set of pre-configured messages and then type them in chat by pressing a hotkey. It is very easy to set up and unobtrusive.
Save commonly-used messages and access them with a hotkey
When you launch the application, you will see that a set of example messages are already available, but you’re definitely going to want to replace them with your own. Whether you want to be nice or just flame the enemy team, anything goes.Once the messages have been configured, you can choose to activate them with either the function keys or numpad keys. It would have been great if it were possible to customize the hotkeys, but the default ones should work for most users.
Unobtrusive utility that runs in the system tray
After setting everything up, you can minimize the main window and just let the application run in the background. In order to activate the hotkeys, you need to right-click the system tray icon and select the option.Of course, while the program was designed for gamers, any other user can take advantage of it as well. If you need to paste various words or text strings frequently, there is no reason why this application wouldn’t do the job.
Simple program that can help both gamers and regular users
On the whole, Text IT-BO can certainly be a helpful tool for gamers who are having trouble sending messages while playing, but it can be useful in many other scenarios as well. It is very intuitive, but it would have been great if there was an option to customize the default hotkeys, not just the messages.
