[...] TypeIt4Me is a mega-clipboard...

[…] TypeIt4Me is a mega-clipboard that takes in all the macros you can throw at it. At one end of its spectrum, I’ve made it so that I will never mis-type the definite article as teh again, along with eliminating many other common finger-gaffes. At the other extreme, it’s got whole form letters pasted into it for über-efficient emailing. It is also great for inserting things you type regularly even when you’re not being a cold, soulless robot (letter closings, for example, or special characters) and particularly for HTML tags; the code I use for most photo borders here looks like this: style=”border:solid 1px #000000; padding: 8px;” I love that I will never have to type all that again. Now when I want a border, I tell the keyboard stylpad and it “auto-corrects” this to the tag. (If I want to go back to the original unpadded grey borders, I tell it cdcd.) I have similar macros defined for pretty much everything I might need to do code-wise. This probably means I will forget whatever scraps of HTML I once knew, but I’m willing to make that sacrifice in the name of laziness. Avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome and halving your keystrokes must be worth $27. For a proper review and a link to a similar rig for Windows, see Merlin Mann’s archives here. […]
