Hi,

I'm using a trial version of FastKeys and love it so much. I think it has a lot of potentials and the fact that it is low priced sold me. I think I will end up buying it soon. :D Anyway in the meantime, I have some suggestions:

1) Random function so you can choose random phrases/words from the wordlist if needed to make the message a bit more varied so it doesn't look like it has been copied and pasted all the time. ;) You know to spice things up. :)

2) If/else script. For example, you could tell it to check the time and if it's earlier than 12:00, it can say good morning and if it's later than 12:00, it can say either good afternoon or good evening if it's after, let's say, 17:00.

3) Multi-choices and change the phrase based on the checked/rejected boxes (perhaps a smaller version of if/else script?). For example, if you check 2 words and reject other option, it will say I accept your paypal and credit card as a payment option, but your money check will not be accepted.

My apologies if this option is already available, I just don't see how it's possible at the moment. :)

Have a great day!

Ah, I apologize :oops: for being too hasty. I knew I overlooked something. Apparently the features I requested exist in AHK script. ;) I'm reading about them right now. Although, I still think it would be a nice feature to add directly in fastkeys for faster productivity. :ugeek:

Thanks for your great suggestions. FastKeys is actively developed and we are slowly adding new automation macros - in the next version we plan to release a whole bunch of Input selection forms so stay tuned! :D

And you are right, if nothing else works, FastKeys accepts AutoHotkey scripts which can do anything.

Aw thanks. I will wait for the next upgrade. :) AHK is currently costing me too much time to make an effective script so hopefully with extra input selection forms, it'll do the trick. :) Any ETA on its release? :)

Should be next week, it's in the final testing phase. By the way, random selection will be included too. :D
