Hotkeys make the world go round, at least according to power users. It’s no secret that keyboard shortcuts can simplify all sorts of tasks, but since each user’s workflow is different, it is often unfeasible for developers to come up with shortcuts for every possible function.

That’s where an app like Keysmith comes into play. It allows you to create shortcuts not just for simple commands, but also for intricate series of actions that you need to perform on a regular basis.

Remarkably intuitive

To create a hotkey, all you need to do is start recording with Keysmith and perform all the actions that the shortcut should replicate. The whole process is incredibly straightforward, so you certainly don’t need to be an expert. The capture process itself can even be started with a hotkey.

There is almost no limit to what you can bind. The app can identify buttons and lists in native apps, and it has a very smart of figuring out where it should click in non-native apps as well. Essentially, it records where the user has clicked relative to the nearest window corner, which means that, in most cases, the macro should be effective even if the window is resized.

Define keyboard shortcuts for anything and everything

Keysmith can identify and replicate clicks on certain buttons or elements, simulate key presses, and even type text. While all these actions can be recorded in one go, you can also go back and refine the macro later on.

You can specify where a certain hotkey should be active, whether it should click a specific element or the latest item in a list, and much more. It also comes with an optional Chrome extension, which allows you to create shortcuts for any website.

Incredibly versatile and easy to use

Since you may have trouble remembering all your shortcuts after a while, you’ll be happy to learn that Keysmith comes with a Spotlight-like search tool that helps you find them.

The sky really is the limit when it comes to what you can do with this app. No matter what your work or personal activity involves, any repetitive task can be simplified with a simple shortcut.
