Please help me find the product that will meet my needs!

Hello there,

I am looking for a product like the Key Croc, my use case will be to have a portable text expander, where when type certain snippets like "hello" it will print out a predefined sentence. 

Are there any other products that use the MATCH command?

And also, it has to be able to store alot of payloads, like all the way from 50-200 payloads, where each payload corresponds to one snippet or match command.

And lastly another question, can the output of the MATCH command be a really really long text? For example an entire paper worth of text?

Like, could the Rubber Ducky do this aswell? Or is the MATCH command only exclusive to the Key Croc?

Thanks in advance!

Microsoft Office will do this. Don't try doing it with a keylogger.

I would use Python for this, something like;

import threading
import time
import win32gui
import win32api
import win32con

# Define the text inputs and their corresponding completions
input_mappings = {
    "hello": " world",
    "goodbye": " cruel world",
    "foo": " bar"
}

# Function to send key strokes
def send_keystrokes(text):
    for char in text:
        win32api.SendMessage(win32con.HWND_CURRENT, win32con.WM_CHAR, ord(char), 0)
        time.sleep(0.05)

# Thread function to monitor user input
def monitor_input():
    while True:
        window_title = win32gui.GetWindowText(win32gui.GetForegroundWindow())
        if window_title != "Python":
            # Listen for specific text inputs
            if window_title.lower() == "hello":
                send_keystrokes(input_mappings["hello"])
            elif window_title.lower() == "goodbye":
                send_keystrokes(input_mappings["goodbye"])
            elif window_title.lower() == "foo":
                send_keystrokes(input_mappings["foo"])
            elif window_title.lower() == "closeapplication":
                break
        time.sleep(0.1)

# Create and start the thread to monitor user input
input_thread = threading.Thread(target=monitor_input)
input_thread.start()

# Keep the script running until the input thread is finished
input_thread.join()

I used ChatGPT to assist in writing this.

 

Add as many input_mappings as you like.

It will run in the background. Typing 'closeapplication' will make it shut down.

You'll need to install pywin32 using pip install pywin32

Lean to be clear in what you want, what you ask doesnt make much sense. Wtf is a "portable text expander" ? And why keycrock..read the manual 😉
