Those who are familiar with mylot know that I always end my discussions/ posts/ replies with the following message:
HUGZ from Kitten1954

When I did a computing basics course a few year ago we learned a little bit about using shortcut keys. Ctrl+z== undo etc. We also did a bit on creating shortcuts using the ALT+? and I was wondering a couple of things.

1. Would a shortcut work on mylot?

2. If so, how do I create one?

3. I want my shortcut to type out my signatory phrase instead of my having to type it in every time. I don't mind typing it in every time as that's what makes my posts individual and personal but if I can create a shortcut this would be so useful.

Thanks and......

I set up mine through Opera, saved up with the "Note" feature.
When I want to insert it or another signature, all I have to do is right click in the text box and select insert note (then select the note I want from the list). No switched pages or pasting needed.

"Note to self, insert witty signature here"

I do not use Opera. I will probably stick with typing it in for now unless someone comes up with a great idea.

Opera is easy to use and free. (-_-)
But fine.

I don't know any shortcut, I am still sort of new with the computer. But couldn't you just type it, then copy it and paste it then at the end of all your replies. You would have to copy it again each day, but that might save some time.


myLot reputation of 92/100. kitten1954 (1120)   ranked 167 out of 6,343 in internet  2 years ago

Yes, that's what I have tried on several occasions. I just thought there might be a whiz out there that could help out.

w00t I don't think all those shortcuts would work for MyLot. But some work though. Like CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y for redo. thumbup

I am not a whiz but I do have an idea. How about after the first time you type it, you copy it and then paste it after your post. It will be saved until you copy smething else or end your posting for the day. There are a few others that have a special signature too, maybe some of them will stop by ad give you a hint, if the have a short cut.

dohI just replyed and went to check on your other responses, imagine my surprise I had already responded 5 months ago with basically the same response, duh. I didn't realise this was an old discussion. I forgot all about this one.
