In response to my request for leads on some macro software, Alwin suggests that the cheapest and most direct solution is to just use AppleScript. He’s probably right about that; I keep promising myself to get down and dirty with AppleScript, but never seem to make the time to do so. Maybe this’ll give me a concrete project to work with.
He also suggested TypeIt4Me, which looks like it would do what I’m after, and at $27, is priced right. I’ll definitely investigate it.
In the meantime, my own search uncovered Keyboard Maestro, which handles text insertion as I requested. Another useful feature is the task switcher, which works the way a task switcher is supposed to work, rather than the way the Dock works. KM can present tasks as a stack, and a single key combination allows you to switch back and forth between two applications, rather than forcing you to cycle through applications based on their dock placement. Keyboard Maestro is only $20, which is even nicer.
I’ll play some and report back. Thanks very much for the suggestions, Al!
