I am looking for enhanced clipboard software for Windows. Basically I write scripts all day, and there are a dozen or so phrases I have to type probably 100 times a day. What I'm looking for is something that lets me choose a keystroke pair (e.g. Alt-Shift-F1 or whatever) that then fills in my 20-30 character phrase to keep me from having to type it.

I know this exists and I swear I had something that did it a decade or so ago but I can't find it now. The ones I've keep track of the last 20 or more things you've copied to the clipboard and that's neat but I'd rather just be able to type a keystroke every time.

TIA

Autohotkey does this I believe.

For sure autohotkey can work. Could be a combo of keys that insert text or even just a text replacement item. Do something like 2 dashes in front of what you type in if you want to be real sure it doesn't accidentally replace text.

For instance "tx" changes to "why did i make a text replacement for TexAgs of all things?"

Yes! Thank you. That was the program I had years ago but for some reason I couldn't track it down. Thanks both!
