The ultimate Windows keyboard shortcut utility
that lets you fully utilize your keyboard and
helps you work more efficiently!
Aquarius Soft PC Keyboard Hotkey (Global Keyboard Shortcut) Professional is a simple, useful and yet powerful computer keyboard utility that helps you activate events quickly with just one key combination. No longer do you need to make lots of mouse clicks to find a program to run, or to activate a function within the program. With PC Keyboard Hotkey Professional, you can do all these with just a single press of key combinations...anytime and anywhere in Windows!
You can also use PC Keyboard Hotkey to help you to auto-type your commonly typed text like mail signatures, addresses or quotes. For example, you can configure to have Windows + F1 to automatically type "Best Regards, Tom" for you in any text editor.
Last but not least, you can setup hotkey to send those keys that your keyboard does not have, or re-map unused keyboard key to send keyboard combinations that you would normally need to press multiple keys on your keyboard. For example, if your PC keyboard does not have a Volume Mute key, you can setup Windows + 0 to send the Volume Mute key to mute the PC volume. Or you can map F9 to send Page Down if your computer notebook requires you to press Fn + Down Arrow to do a page down.
