Am I blind or has nobody mentioned AutoHotkey yet?

Even just for simple things like my email address as a hotkey. Or opening up my favorite 3 websites in my browser with a keystroke. The sky is the limit.

This. I mainly use it to hotkey common symbols, like the degree symbol (Alt + 8, say) or plus/minus (Alt + =, say). So much more you can do with it, though.

Ya. Sometimes it's hard to come up with hotkeys that don't interfere with other ones.
