Using Texter to enter my username and password saves me a ton of time on daily sweepstakes. Here's how to do it:
- Open Texter by double-clicking on it in the system tray.
- Click on the Plus Button (marked +) underneath the Hotstring box to create a new shortcut.
- Put in an easy to remember and easy-to-type name for your Hotstring (shortcut) in the appropriate box. I've used "swps" for sweepstakes password, but you can choose anything you like.
- Because we'll be asking Texter to do more than just pasting text (we'll also be asking it to tab), select "Script" from the drop-down box. (Default is "Text").
- Click on the box that says "Enter your replacement text here..." Enter the following text: YOURUSERNAME{Tab}YOURPASSWORD (replace YOURUSERNAME and YOURPASSWORD with the appropriate text. It might end up looking like Sandrawins{Tab}Sandraspassword).
- Choose the trigger you'd like to use. The trigger is what makes the text replacement happen. I personally use Tab, but you can pick whatever you want. If you want the replacement to happen as soon as you type your Hotstring, then select Instant.
- Click the "OK" button.
- Test your text by going to a sweepstakes entry form that asks for your username a tab, and your password. Click on the username field and type your hotstring. Your text should automatically appear.
I have also created a similar entry for my sweepstakes email address and password.
