Free version seems way too limited. I think I had used another product of theirs Macro Express in the past, but moved on to AutoIt since.

Will get to it eventually. @kelltic I vaguely remember trying that launcher long time ago, didn't like it. Need to re-visit some time. On that line - WordPress sanitizes input to near-death. Good for security, not so good for fancy snippets. :) @Alek Davis

I use it to insert lines that I would otherwise have to hold down the dash key or = key or whatever I am in the mood for. Personally, I like this one: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - to run across the page. Then there are the tedious things, like address, email, phone#. But best of all, I don't have to open a symbol map to type in words and names that I commonly use, such as, Lóegaire or Cenn-fáelad. I use my launcher, Keybreeze, for this.

Currently using ArsClip's (http://www.joejoesoft.com/cms/showpage.php?cid=97) permanent items feature for text replacement.

Decent text editors like <a href="http://www.rarst.net/tag/notepadpp/">Notepad++</a> usually have text replacement stuff... But it is confined to app itself. Definitely need to poke around for something better. @Alek Davis

Too bad, though; if not for the bugs, it would be quite handy. I really liked the idea and tried to use this utility for a while, but bugs made it pretty much unusable for me, so I had to uninstall.
