Macro Express Hot Key Equivalent


  • Subject: Macro Express Hot Key Equivalent

I am a PC owner and a MAC lover. I recently discovered Automator and would like to use it. Unfortunately, the program seems to lack a certain functionality that Macro Express for Windows has - either that or I can't get it to work.

In Macro Express, I could assign a hot key such as ## and then some other letters that would prompt the program to remove that text and type in boilerplate text. For example:

## (the hot key - listening) 
sig (what ever formated text I setup in the macro)

So I would type:
##sig

The would have Macro Express run the macro that would type the following:

All best wishes,

My Name
Other Text

Is there an equivalent in Automator? 

Thanks for the help
