Hot Keyboard Pro is a software tool which was developed in order to help you perform repetitive tasks in a more efficient manner, by creating macros and assign them to hotkeys.

The program does not offer to download or add other third-party products during the installation process, and after you are done with it, you are greeted by a plain UI. It can be used by anybody, regardless of their experience level.

In fact, there is a setup wizard you can run an unlimited number of times and the Help contents are extensive, so that novice users can be sure they can run the app at its full potential.

There are multiple types of macros you can create, such as recording or playing keystrokes, sound volume control, add a reminder, shutdown the computer, paste text or open a directory.

Whichever types you wish to create, you are required to append a macro name, parent menu and establish a macro launch condition. To be more precise, you can launch an action if a window title or class, or process name contains a specified keyword, or if an expression is met.

Aside from that, you can also activate a macros by setting it up a keyboard shortcut, a schedule, text shortcut, window popup, Windows startup or tapping the screen with more than two fingers.

The macros can be tested and password-protected, yet it is also possible to import them from the hard drive, in formats such as HKB, HKBACKUP, HK4BACKUP, as well as export them as a HK4BACKUP file.

All in all, Hot Keyboard Pro proves to be a useful piece of software, dedicated to both power and novice users, with a good response time and a minimal usage of CPU and memory.
