The Core Features: What Can You Automate?
1. Type Text: More Than Just Words This is the foundation of OtoKeyboard. At its simplest, it types out predefined text with a single hotkey. But its true power lies in its ability to simulate keyboard presses (like {enter} and {tab}), insert dynamic information (like the current {date} or text from your {{clipboard}}), and even pause and wait for your next command with {wait_for_hotkey}.

2. Run Command: Your Digital Swiss Army Knife Stop searching for icons on your desktop. The “Run Command” feature lets you launch applications, open specific files, and visit your favorite websites instantly with a custom shortcut. If you can open it with a command, you can automate it.

3. System Action: Control Your PC with a Keystroke Manage your computer’s power and session state without ever touching your mouse. Assign hotkeys to shut down, restart, sleep, or lock your computer. It’s the ultimate convenience for end-of-day routines or securing your PC when you step away.

4. Image Action: Click What You See This is where automation feels like magic. “Image Action” allows OtoKeyboard to find a specific image (like a button or icon) on your screen and then execute a chain of commands, such as clicking, typing, or pressing keys. It’s the perfect solution for automating programs and games that don’t have traditional shortcuts.

Advanced Automation: Combining Your Skills
5. Chained Action: Create Powerful Workflows This feature acts as an orchestra conductor for your shortcuts. A “Chained Action” lets you link multiple individual shortcuts together to run in a sequence, with custom delays between each step. Automate complex, multi-step tasks with a single trigger hotkey.

6. Text Expansion: Type Less, Say More Supercharge your typing speed by turning short keywords into long phrases, sentences, or even entire paragraphs. Simply type your abbreviation (like thanks), press Space or Enter, and watch it magically expand. It’s a game-changer for anyone who does a lot of writing.

7. Macro Recorder: Record and Replay Anything For the ultimate level of automation, the “Macro Recorder” captures every mouse movement, click, and keystroke you make. You can then save this recording and play it back perfectly, as many times as you need. It’s the final solution for any repetitive task you can imagine.
