FastKeys is a lightweight software application that comes packed with several automation tools for getting you rid of repetitive tasks.
Its purpose is to help you configure programs to start different activities on your computer, assign keystrokes for performing various operations, specify abbreviation strings for your frequently used text, and draw mouse gestures.
You are allowed to run programs, open files, directories, and website, as well as execute commands and scripts for automatic actions.
What’s more, you can create keyboard shortcuts for carrying out a wide range of operations related to windows (e.g. minimize, resize, zoom in or out), audio files (e.g. adjust the volume, mute the sound), Control Panel (add or remove programs), and many other system tools.
The Text Expander function enables you to create user-defined abbreviations for custom text strings, while the Auto Complete function displays a box with word suggestions that can be selected on the go.
Plus, the strings and words may trigger other operations, such as running applications, opening webpages, or executing commands and scripts.
