Post #9, directly above, is much more important than this one, but I couldn't resist ...

Doing my research for the preceding post, I came across plenty of Linux users wishing there were an automatic-text-entering tool like TypeItIn. For example:


"i've just spent the last hour searching many linux software sources. i'm looking for a program where i can set up keyboard shortcuts that will enter text strings into various applications. under windows there is typeitin, and also a utility made by pc magazine called robotype. anyone recall seeing something similar?"

"I am trying to find an application that i can use to send keystrokes to other applications.
For example in windows i used to use a program called typeitin "

"TypeItIn lets you define buttons that will insert any information you
want in any Windows application ...
Is there a Linux equivalent?"

"The one Windows ap I cannot live without is a little one that saves
phrases of indefinite length and lets you insert one you select by
clicking on one of an indefinite number of buttons.
And it works with any application!
Is there something like that for Linux?"
