yKey

yKey (formerly iKey) is an automation utility, a program that creates shortcuts to accomplish repetitive tasks. In essence, a yKey shortcut is a little program in its own right, but you don't need to know the first thing about programming to create a yKey shortcut. All you have to do is put together three necessary parts of a shortcut: One or more commands that give the shortcut its functionality, a context in which it runs, and a launcher that defines how the shortcut is activated.
