Hey, if you're interested in using keystroke automation to improve your productivity, then you might really like this software I've developed.<p>It's called Numpad Superpowers (https://numpadsuperpowers.com) and it turns the number pad on your keyboard into a powerful automation tool. The main feature is a drag-and-drop graphical editor, which you use to program what each of the buttons on your numpad does.<p>A numpad button might just do something simple like pasting a block of text, but it could also do wider combinations of keyboard shortcuts, pressing keys and opening applications. It's really up to you!<p>Use cases include:
- Pasting repetitive text into linux terminals, reports and emails.
- Triggering keyboard shortcuts in video, photo and text editing software.
- Opening commonly used applications, folders or files quickly.
- Bespoke combinations of keypresses and typing, e.g. for executing SQL commands in database management software.<p>If all this sounds like it could be useful to you, then you're welcome to download the free trial from here: https://numpadsuperpowers.com<p>It's only for Windows currently so my apologies to Linux and OSX users!<p>The software has a paid tier, but also has a free tier which will always be available to you - for quickly automating things here and there, it should be everything you need, so you don't have to pay if you don't want to.<p>If you have any questions, you're welcome to email me at numpadsuperpowers@gmail.com although I'm in the UK so answers will come to you early in the morning!<p>Happy automating,
Robin<p>P.S. if you're a lucky owner of a macropad, or some other keypad-like hardware, then you can hook it up to my software, essentially giving it a new 'brain'. If you're interested in this possibility of using your own hardware to trigger my drag-and-drop software, then there is a guide on how to achieve this at the bottom of this page: https://numpadsuperpowers.com/docs.html
