I am heavily addicted to the shortcut keys I haves setup using HotKeyControlXP in Windows XP. I'VE set up passwords and other macros, as well as favorite programs to run with a windowsKey + plus some-other key to execute.
This has turned out to be a major impediment to my adopting Windows 7.
Can anyone suggest a replacement or technique that could replace the ability?
I would like to use the keyboard as opposed to the mouse where ever possible.
Thanks

Programs that run in earlier version of Windows such as XP, 2K, etc. can be made to run on Win7 in a number of compatibility ways.
1. Run as Administrator one time using right click.
2. Run as Administrator all the time for logged on User.
3. Run as Administrator all the time for Any logged on User.
4. Application to always run at elevated level by using a "SHIM" created with Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) MS Download.
5. Etc., Etc........

There are some restrictions one can't overcome such as signed drivers for Win7-64
but for the most part, one can do almost anything in Win7 that makes good sense.

The program I use allows me to assign keystrokes like; winkey + 1, or winkey + F2, or winkey + O (by winkey I mean windows logo key)
not really write scripts, and I can assign those keys to run program or just enter test string.
Windows 7 has added/taken allot of windows logo key combinations but I'd still like to be able to enter several strings that I seem to repetively use.
(I don't have to use the windows logo key)
This is just a small hurdle but it makes my productivity suffer, I'm a terrible typist.
I'll look at autohotkey.
I'm also looking at some clipboard programs, interesting.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
