Hi,

I want to try and implement a program that will allow keyboard shortcuts, eg CTRL-1, CTRL-2 when pressed to map to some text and paste it to a webpage/app in focus.

How should I go about doing this ? btw I want to be able to do it in C#.NET

It needs to be able to not use the generic CTRL-C and CTRL-V I want it to be custom keyboard hotkey pasting.

Thanks,

Jase

1) Make a program, that creates a global keyboard hook.
Processing Global Mouse and Keyboard Hooks in C#[^]
A Simple C# Global Low Level Keyboard Hook[^]
Global System Hooks in .NET[^]
and so on...
2) Than use the SendKeys[^] class to send the desired text on hooked event to the application in focus.
