Shortcut Keys

[Tegiro]

I often have to enter my full email address in various programs.
Sometimes it becomes a bore to retype this info every time.
Is there a method where I can just use a set of shortcut keys to enter my email address?
Something like Alt+some other key. Or CTL+ some other key.

I know there must be a proper name for this but I can't remember it right now.
Is there a good video explaining how to do it?

You could create a text file with your email address saved.

Then when filling out a form simply open the document, highlight the address and press Ctrl + C to copy, then click in the form field and press Ctrl + V to paste it.

Hi Regedit32,
Seems like an ok idea but I could probably type my email address faster than going through all those steps.
I would still prefer a method explained in my original msg. If there is one.
Thanks again.

The name just came to me...what I am looking for would be called a MACRO.
Does Windows 10 allow one to create such things....for my query?

There is an extension called iMacros you can use with at least three browsers to achieve that goal:

• Google Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/imacros-for-chrome/cplklnmnlbnpmjogncfgfijoopmnlemp
• Internet Explorer http://imacros.net/download
• Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imacros-for-firefox/

Note: The Internet Explorer one appears to be a limited trial version, not sure about the other two options.

Thanks Regedit32, seems exactly what I was looking for. I will spend some time reading them and selecting the best. Thanks again.
