Sick& tired typing my own email address

[THAIPHUKET]

and I got a long one! Will get new PC .Time to do what I always meant to do, to ask=

There must be more option than only one temporary memory from where to easily PASTE repetitive text,

How ???

[RichCor]

Where are you typing it into.

Some browsers can be set to 'autofill forms'. Some browser add-ons / extensions will also autofill username/passwords.

There are also keyboard utilities you can set up that will autopaste preset info with a keyboard key combination you set up.

[HooHaa]

get a shorter address. these things are not rocket science

[THAIPHUKET]

Doesn't make any sense, tons&tons of memory but nothing for simplest repetitive tasks , not even an addon.

Form fillers don't do the job, too many cases where the email must be given in an un-formated way.

Just curious= not even Apple has this feature?

[ThaidDown]

For something simple like assigning a text string to a particular key combination I would suggest QuickTextPaste.

Very small and simple program. Available http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/QuickTextPaste

Note for Windows only, do not know ref Linux Mac or Android but must be something similar.

Alternatively use a clipboard replacement that allows 'stickies' like 'clipboard history'

For more complicated macros suggest AutoHotKey but that is overkill for what you appear to want.

Formfillers only work when the webpage textbox fields are named appropriately for autofill to correctly match known data to required/requested fields.

Since I'm not a true clairvoyant, could you post some website form pages that give examples of your 'un-formated way'?

What type of Apple device are you using; macbook, ipad?

Issue mostly with browser web forms, or popup logins?

[ThaidDown]

Apologies , did not see that this was in the Apple forum, old age causing eyesight failure is my excuse , please ignore my previous post.

[THAIPHUKET]

Well, tells you someth ing about my proficiency = WRONG FORUM was meant to be in the internet non-Apple forum, #PC user here:-)

Will try http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/QuickTextPaste

Thanks for the hint.

[metisdead]

Moved out of the Apple forum and into the mobile internet and devices forum.

Simple notepad or word saved poser solved.

Get Last Pass, which is a free password manager that will automate not only your email address but other log in info also:

https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php

[THAIPHUKET]

Notepad ----cumbersome, change to different program copy & change back to email program -paste

Lastpass-- I got LP. But the program needs a recognizable Form where subscription is probably required. That I like to avoid as much as possible. Don´t want my email all over the world

There must be something simple for e.g this task = writing email anywhere in the text my email, Not in a fixed place.

Gosh , I'd wish I could write an apps, would be downloaded a billion times. Make money with the simplest idea. Anybody here on TV??

I tried http://www.softwareo.../QuickTextPaste but I don´t get it working, my bad.

Text Expander.

[THAIPHUKET]

sounds good

Cross-platform Autotext functionality

PhraseExpress allows you to use the snippet collection you have created on your Mac also on a Windows PC.

TextExpander's macro functions such as %snippet% to link and nest phrases, %fill% to add manual text input, keypress simulations and date/time stamps are properly converted into the PhraseExpress macro equivalents.

What is bizarre my HTC One remembers my email automatically, didn't have to a thing. Just starting typing will bring the address anywhere I chose.

Your HTC uses a virtual keyboard with predictive typing.

A common feature on small devices with difficult to use input methods. Your PC can also install a virtual keyboard, but you won't like it.

[phazey]

You can set up keyboard shortcuts on IOS - for example if i type ksu<space> it autofills with the guessed email address.

[THAIPHUKET]

Richkor , my wife likes to say to me= You're not often right, but Damn, you're right again, Guess Rich, you have heard that too?

Phazey= I am one of these low class people who still ride a PC :-)

[THAIPHUKET]

I only seldom sign up to a new website. But I noticed visiting a site for the first time ever and I started to type the first letter of my email the complete address sprang up. Click and done.

In other words my simple & outdated Acer Lap top does remember but will show the email only if the first letter is typed into an email field. What does that mean? The email is stored somewhere on the pc. Why is it not possible to call the info up at will with a key stroke?

Eg. writing a letter and the email placed wherever

Think I mentioned before, most web browsers can remember webpage textbox fields and autofill previously typed data.

We need to send you to a special how to use Google to Search class

Anywho...

The Windows Club

QuickTextPaste: Paste pre-defined text using keyboard shortcut

adkscript

AutoHotkey

Assign text and actions to a key (or key combination) to be triggered when you press the key combination

Or use the Hotstring option to autoconvert while you type: example, ftw becomes Free the whales

[THAIPHUKET]

RichCor I remember well

All the more surprised because I'd never heard of this website. If you got a link to how to find what I really want that will help greatly. Even using the Google preset search tool yields a lot of garbage. I guess Google doesn't want you to find anything quickly.

They could easily program the most common searches in a menu for the user.

But trial and error searches yield more clicks, good for advertising revenue

Tks for

The Windows Club

QuickTextPaste: Paste pre-defined text using keyboard shortcut

adkscript

AutoHotkey

I will use AutoHotkey. Still shaking my head why MSFT never bothered to make this feature on Windows.

Perhaps in Windows 10 ??

[THAIPHUKET]

I can be fooled, took the #Auto#hotkey literally expecting an apps type application. Scripting is still required

Why does nobody want to make money with "a drop Text " application

[RichCor]

Try keywords like: Windows-7 +

text auto-replace

text substitution
text expansion

Using PhraseExpress in Windows
There's a number of choices for text expansion in Windows, but PhraseExpress is the only one I've tried that's very powerful, free for personal use, and also works in Windows 7. The standard edition is free for personal use, but it has an internal word list that will nag you if you try and use rules containing phrases like "your order".
