  Enter (or space bar), and your keyword will be
  automatically replaced by your text

• srl gives you self-represented litigant
• rin gives you reviewed intake checked for

  joystick, and mouse. In addition to HotStrings

  as modifiers. In fact, you can make any key or
  mouse button act as a modifier.

  and mouse clicks. You can write a mouse or
  keyboard macro by hand or use the macro
  recorder.

  Virtually any key, button, or combination can
  become a hotkey.
  
• Create custom data-entry forms, user interfaces,
  and menu bars.
  
• Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard,
  joystick, and mouse.
