OneClickTyper : Use the F keys to paste custom text strings you add to a list in order to automate typing tasks for more comfort in your activities
Various computer activities can have you typing the same things over and over again, which can easily get frustrating and time-consuming. On the bright side of things, you can find a great deal of third-party applications such as OneClickTyper in order to automate typing tasks for more comfort in your activities.
Intuitive set of instructions to get you up and running
The application doesn’t take you through a setup process, so you can carry it around on a thumb drive in case your work involves using different computers. Note, however, that the application completely relies on .NET Framework to function, so it’s a good idea to make sure it’s installed on the target computer.With the main window up, all details required to get you acquainted with the process are in plain sight, cleverly structured in a 4 step instructions set. A large section is where all text strings are stored, while a drop-down menu helps you easily bind a hotkey which inserts the target string in a document of your choice.
Poor liberty in hotkey configuration
Unfortunately, there are some elements which might have you a little disappointed in the end. For instance, you can’t assign different hotkey commands to individual strings, thus somewhat limiting the number of strings you can leave stored. Moreover, hotkeys aren’t really combinations of buttons, and you can only use function keys.You can insert the custom text string in nearly all types of fields. However, the application doesn’t override the original F key function, so the original function gets triggered first, and not just the text. This can lead to some disturbing consequences, especially if you decide to paste text this way inside a web browser.
In conclusion
Taking everything into consideration, we can state that OneClickTyper comes with good intentions, but is poorly prepared to tackle the issue. Sadly, there’s not really any liberty when it comes to adding text strings, while available buttons to assign usually overlap important, existing system functions.
