You lose time when you need to move your hand from the mouse to the keyboard to enter data. And here, the situtation is just opposite to that described under 1). devices to control almost all the process with the mouse. For the latter group, however, moving hand off the keyboard in order to grasp the mouse and click, click is a waste of time if you can get the same effect with one or two hits of keys.Īd 2) There are programmes (particularly for editing graphics or movies) that have a lot of sliders etc. For the first group it may be easier and faster to find objects to click on the screen ,than to find a proper combination of keys on the keyboard to hit and get what they need.

In my opinion all depends on two factors: (1) how skillful typist you are and (2) what type of software you use mostly.Īd 1) There are users who use 2 or maximum 3 fingers to type and if so, their typing speed is relatively slow and not quite efortless, and there are users (me, included) who are fluent in touch typing. You wrote: "if anyone can give me a reason why this would be better I would like to hear it" and here is my reply. You can do both, and still be more productive/work faster. And there really are no "either/or" with hotkeys/mouse-clicking. Pick the three programs you use the most, and assign hotkeys to them. If you have never used hotkeys, I recomend you give this program (or any of the others recommended here) a try. I will pass on this program, because I allready have my computer set up with hotkeys (properties/shortcuts on files on the desktop), and I fear a specialized program like this could mess up a system that is allready working. if I am uable to remember the hotkey-commands, I use the folders and start the program by clicking the appropriate icon. (ctrl + alt + letter).Ĭtrl+alt+W for Word, X for excel, M for music player, O for Outlook. Text-editing, video players, music players etc. Reading the comments here, it sounds like there is some sort of "competition" between the "hotkey-users" and the "point and click"-users.Īll my programs are organized in folders. usually C:\Users\youruserid\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and arrange and folderize it to your personal degree of neatness. usually C:\Users\youruserid\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and arrange and folderize it to your personal degree of neatness.įind the folder where your program list is stored. If you only need program shortcut lists, did you know you can simply create category-named folders within the start button program list, and then drag your programs by category into them so you can have a few neat program folders by category come up right on your start menu? Put them here:įind the folder where your program list is stored. just go find and peruse the list of commands for each and see if your particular needs are covered. (the type 2s of course can also do the simple type 1 shortcuts and macros.
So first decide whether you need type 1 or 2. but is worth a look to see the kinds of uses the type 2 packages can handle. all from one little menu.) Or there's winautomation (way more expensive at $150.

(With that one I once automated an entire business process to read multiple saved MS Word forms, run python scripts to extract their data, then put it into excel tabs, create and update graphic reports, then also enter the data into a web-based DR package. Another such is the legendary macroexpress (cost $30-50 but worth every last penny if you need it).
Giovanni's mention of autohotkey (formerly autoit) is instead a type 2 tool with all the bells and whistles, for recording, then editing and adding to complex scripts to do exactly all and whatever you want. Similar packages are macro magic or easy macro recorder, or hotkeyz. It offers very easy use, but only a short list of commands available. Perfect Hotkey is a good example of type 1 (from the trusty folks who wrote winutilities).

detailed 'almost a programming language' business task automation tools that can handle functions like variables, loops, if-then-else, menus and picklists as well as fully controlling all windows and exactly what the user sees. easy to use apps for quicky creation of short macros that mostly intend to automate one or a few very frequent multi-keystroke or menu tasks, (like open a website page or eject your dvd).Ģ. two cents from one more who does have extensive experience evaluating and using macro packages.
