Free "hotkey" program
For those who use keyboard shortcuts as much as I do, this program looks amazing: http://www.autohotkey.com
I just discovered it a couple of days ago, and installed it today.
I've already used it to fix something about a Windows shortcut key that has been bugging me for a while, and to program it so that when I type "fwiw" in any program it substitutes in "for what it's worth". And a few other such things.
It's basically got its own programming language built in, too, so you can program a very complex set of actions and reactions to occur when you press a combination of keys or key sequence.
Plus, it's free!! :-)
