Just a quick post to share two awesome utilities that I have been using for a while now. I like working with the keyboard over the mouse in many cases, simply because I am faster with that, and was recently pointed to a a tool that will make things even better:

Auto Hotkey: This allows you to “play” an arbitrary set of key strokes and commands either by replacing text you just typed or by re-assigning a key (combination). Very handy for emails where you can now simply type “brc” and get “Best regards,<NEW_LINE>Christoph”

Another tool worth mentioning is Key Tweak, which provides a GUI over the registry that allows to remap the keyboard. My use-case was a very old IBM Model M keyboard that does not have a Windows key (I was made aware of the tool by this post)
