Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are the most used keyboard shortcuts on Windows. They save the user a lot of time and speed up working on the PC immensely.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could use keyboard shortcuts for other tasks as well? For example, for the automatic insertion of frequently used texts in the e-mail program or in Word, to translate website content, to take screenshots or to open the most used folder in Windows Explorer? KeyCtrl is the key!

Automate your daily tasks now and define your own hotkeys. Increase productivity and minimize time spent with the right shortcuts!

Settings does not provide a way to prevent it from always starting at system start-up.

This looks like a very useful app. I use Keybreeze to accomplish the same things (and more). Otherwise, I'd grab this offer.

Both the giveaway and the trial only have help files in English and in Turk. There is a de.pdf and a tr.pdf in the programme folder. No en.pdf.

Requires registration at sofware website. Pass for me.
Having to keep up with every website that would require registration/id/password is too much. If this is "FREE licensed software" there should be nothing else required other than a download and activation.

FYI, I did not register. I just filled in a name and a working mail address to receive the user ID. You need that for the activation.

It is quite common here that you have to provide a mail address to get a licence key.

TK, I am not a lawyer and English is not my mother's language, but I associate the word "registering" with storing information in a register for more than the few minutes it took them to send me a mail to an address, that stopped functioning almost immediately after I received their mail and I had clicked on the download link to receive the software.

Google says to register is to enter or to record on an official list or directory. I did enter information, but did they store it for more than a few minutes? It is of no use anymore.

I've used shortkeys lite for years to shortcut entering repetitive text and codes and wondered if this can do the same. it does so happy to have a fully functioning program that does this.

I use the freeware AnyHotkey. The following script is meant for daily use on all my Windows machines. It works in all applications:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
RegRead, ProductName, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, ProductName

^!d:: ; ^ = Ctrl, ! = Alt, so the script is executed with the key combination Ctrl-Alt-D
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, ' created on '%A_ComputerName%' on 'dddd dd MMMM yyyy 'at' HH:mm 'hours '
WeekNumber:=SubStr(A_YWeek,-1) ; YWeek contains yyyyww and the second parameter -1 indicates that the two rightmost characters are taken
Send in week %WeekNumber% ; outputs the text "in week", followed by the week number (two characters)
SendInput, %CurrentDateTime% ; outputs the text "created on day name day number month name year at hours two characters:minutes two characters hours"
Capslock::Enter ; Capslock functions as a second Enter key
+Capslock::Capslock ; use Shift-CapsLock as Capslock

return

::br::Best regards,{Enter}
return

When I press Ctrl+Alt+D, it generates a line with the week number, name of the computer, year, month, day, hours and minutes. I use that below my signature in mails.

The Caps Lock key is used as second Enter key, to prevent unwanted capitals. To activate Caps Lock, I have to use Shift+Caps Lock. When I type br, it will type Best Regards, followed by an automatic Enter.

I have left out the code that generates my real name, when I type its abbreviation.

I feel no need for other shortcuts, but when you Google, you will find many other possibilities.

gergn, this AllHotKey script shows an unused RegRead, because it returned Windows 10 Pro on my Windows 11 computer. This morning, I asked Perplexity.ai about this and it answered that Microsoft has chosen to let the registry report Windows 10 instead of Windows 10, for compatibility reasons.

It rewrote my script to use WMI to get the correct information. I now use the following script:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

; Function to get OS info using WMI
GetOSInfo() {
strComputer := "."
objWMIService := ComObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" . strComputer . "\root\cimv2")
colItems := objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")._NewEnum

While colItems[objItem]
{
return { Name: objItem.Caption, Version: objItem.Version }
}
}

; Get OS info
OSInfo := GetOSInfo()
OSName := OSInfo.Name
OSVersion := OSInfo.Version

^!d:: ; Ctrl+Alt+D hotkey
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, ' opgesteld op de '%A_ComputerName%' (%OSName% version %OSVersion%) op 'dddd dd MMMM yyyy 'om' HH:mm 'uur '
Weeknummer := SubStr(A_YWeek, -1)
Send in week %Weeknummer%
SendInput, %CurrentDateTime%
return

Capslock::Enter ; Capslock works as a second Enter key
+Capslock::Capslock ; Shift+CapsLock functions as CapsLock

::mvg::Met vriendelijke groet,{Enter}
return
