As suggested in Martin's Comping for Cash guide (here), you can use Autohotkey to set-up hotstrings to quickly type data into forms.
I've written a custom script which really helps me. I still only have to think of the data, but the first letter of each bit of information fills out the form for me, allowing me to quickly tab over to the next item.

The key thing with this is that it's togglable, so it is not always on, and does not disrupt your normal usage.

All you do is change (or add) your own details in the top section (you probably want to add things like phone numbers when you press 0 etc) and then Ctrl-Alt-F to turn form filling on or off (you'll get a handy tray notification to tell you which state it's in)

The code is as follows:

DetectHiddenWindows, On

#IfWinExist,FormFiller134679852

;EDIT BELOW HERE ONLY

:c*:A::Andreas
:c*:G::Griffin
:2::Number 2, Your Road
:c*:S::Somewhere
:c*:w::Wherever
:c*:e::etc

;EDIT ABOVE HERE ONLY

#IfWinExist

^!F::
WinGetActiveTitle, PreviousWindow
IfWinExist, FormFiller134679852
{
TrayTip,Form Filler,Form Filling Disabled,5,1
SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, -3000
Gui, Destroy
}
else
{
TrayTip,Form Filler,Form Filling Enabled,5,2
SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, -3000
Gui, -MinimizeBox +AlwaysOnTop
Gui show, x-1000 y-1000 h1 w1 hide, FormFiller134679852
;WinHide, FormFiller134679852
WinActivate, %PreviousWindow%
}
return

RemoveTrayTip:
TrayTip
return

Save the above as a .ahk file and open it with Autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com). I set it to start at startup on my computer so I don't waste any time!!

Hope that helps some of you out anyway, and if you have any questions, shout!

Shes now taken all the comps off too unless I'm going mad (which is very possible)

madmonster

nope you're right she's removed every post she made and just left up those (that aren't criticising her) on the page.

she was online on mse in the last half hour so has probably read what has been said here.

I just use Roboform to fill the forms... One click, and it fills all the form fields for you.

vaderag

Yeah, but you have to pay for the full version of Roboform, plus you have to have an extra bar in firefox, and it's an extra thing to be running...
AutoHotkey uses pretty much no memory and I use it for other things too, such as making capslock behave - shift capslock turns it on or off, otherwise it does nothing... same with insert...

Capslock::Shift
+Capslock::
state := GetKeyState("Capslock", "T")
if (state = True)
SetCapsLockState, off
else
SetCapsLockState, on
return

Insert::Shift
+Insert:: send {Insert}
return

Fair enough. I'm just putting it out there as an option. Only needs copying and pasting into a txt document and running autohotkey tho!

I haven't got a working printer Korks at mo. It is hard to do it on screen, but SKI is followed by the square with LLS. Second row, 5 squares across. Perhaps that will help a bit. Reefer and Skills are formed
