WheelKeys simulates keystrokes in specified programs, when you turn the mouse wheel.
Keys are sent when one of the specified program windows is selected. Original mouse wheel commands are discarded.

Key definition:
You can define the keystrokes in Wheels.txt. Look at the sample Wheels.txt. Thy syntax of Wheels.txt is:
Exename of the first program you want to send keystrokes to (Space)
up Keys (Space)
down keys (carriage return)
Exename of the second program
... and so on. Hint: Please use the exact syntax, usage errors are not handled.

Effect: Keys are sent when one of the specified program windows is selected. Original mouse wheel commands are discarded. A meaningful example is the volume control of the Media Player which is supplied in the second line of Wheels.txt.

Key codes:
Key codes are like for the VB sendkeys command (see README)

Exit: To quit the program, klick on the wheel which appears in the system tray when you have started WheelKeys.

Suggestion: If you think that WheelKeys is not very user friendly, or if it doesn't work, please buy Mouse Wheel Control by Ardamax Software. It is a wonderful program which has inspired me to make WheelKeys.

Installation:
Uzipping the zip file will create WheelKeys.exe, a sample Wheels.txt and the README file. There is no installation, double-klick WheelKeys.exe to start WheelKeys

This free, open-source utility can automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. You can write macros by hand or use the macro recorder. You can also create hotkeys for keyboard, mouse, joystick, and handheld remote controls. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey. Similarly, you can define abbreviations that expand as you type them. For example, typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way". Finally, you can create your own applications and menu bars using standard controls like buttons, checkboxes, list-views, and tree-views.

Other features: remap keys; change soundcard settings (like volume or mute); use a joystick or keyboard as a mouse; launch programs/documents; make any window transparent, always-on-top, or alter its shape; retrieve and change the clipboard's contents; customize the tray menu's icon and menu items; run existing AutoIt v2 scripts; and convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on any computer.

ShortKeys Lite is a macro utility allowing you to set up replacement text or paragraphs for up to 15 user defined shortkeys. Great for repetitive text needs. Automate tedious and repetitive typing. Reduce errors. You will be amazed how much time ShortKeys Lite can save. ShortKeys Lite monitors the keyboard activity and anytime a user defined keystroke combination (shortkey) is typed in, it will be replaced with the replacement text.

ShortKeys Lite is intended for use with programs that allow text input such as a word processor, text editor, e-mail program, etc. It replaces a text string of up to 32 characters with a word, sentence, paragraph or several paragraphs allowing you to save time by not having to manually type the text. Errors in typing can be reduced. You simply choose a word and associate it with the replacement text. This free, lite version of ShortKeys, allows up to 15 shortkeys. Replacement text can be up to 3000 characters.

To make it work, run the program and all word and replacement combinations will be active. Once ShortKeys Lite is running, it will monitor all keyboard activity. If one of the specified words is used, it will be erased and the replacement text will be keyed in its place.

Actual Keylogger is a free key logger that records every keystroke to an encrypted log file. Every keystroke is written to the log file with the title of the window that was active at that moment. Actual Keylogger runs hidden in the background and automatically logs all keystrokes. The interface can be password protected. Only the person who knows a special key combination can control Actual Keylogger. You can view the reports as HTML or plain text. Actual Keylogger cannot be seen in the task manager, programs files menu, system tray or uninstall list. Actual Keylogger helps any computer user see what activities took place in their computer.

AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required!

AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.

Features:
- Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
- Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
- Manipulate windows and processes
- Interact with all standard windows controls
- Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
- Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
- COM support
- Regular expressions
- Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
- Scriptable RunAs functions
- Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
- Compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista
- Unicode support
- Digitally signed for peace of mind
- Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC)

AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe.

Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages!
