Only one key stroke
Posted By: Happy MT Robin on 2009-03-07
In Reply to: A macro shortcut requires that you strike 2 or more keys. nm - Why a macro?
You can set it up so that you use just CTRL L or whatever combo you want. If you do a lot of editing, this can save you one or two Keystrokes from placing the spaces in, deleting the first character of the next sentence and making it a capital.
Someone on here posted once that she has a macro that only saves her one total keystroke. She's a QA editor, though, and she uses that macro hundreds of times a day.....................doing the math......................
Anything that saves you keystrokes = more productivity = more $$$.

She looks like she has had a stroke.

One character or key Stroke is equal
... to one byte (including spaces or anyother character, remember one KEY STROKE regardless of the input). If you ever want to calculate your bytes for certain amount of text -> paste it on NotePad and save it as text file. Later you can right click on the file to get it's properties to see it's exact size.
I knew one that worked 18 hours a day and had a stroke
and could not work for a long time after that. We have to be so careful in this business.
I understand some don't pay for spaces, but that one key stroke isn't a big deal IMO.
I would think having your document look right would be more important than whether or not you had to strike one extra key. After all, we use a lot of tools like ShortHand and get paid for the whole word even if we just use a 2-3 letter code.
I guess I am just not getting what the big deal about hitting the space bar again would be even if you aren't paid to do so.
My hubbie had a massive stroke in 1996 and since then I have been the only income...sm
in our home. Our vehicles were repossessed on Christmas eve of that year and within 6 months of his stroke we lost everything. We had no car, no home, etc, but by luck insurance paid most of his medical bills, but our credit was shot. He has not been able to work since and I am an MT, so that probably tells you what type of money we are making. I am only telling you this because there is light at the end of the tunnel. You hubbie will be able to work again and it might take some time, but you will be able to get out of this mess. I would recommend a book by Dave Ramsey called "The Total Money Makeover" and he explains how to get completely out of debt no matter what your situation. He also has a daily radio program, you can go to his web site and find it, but he really has advice that can help you right now. I am not sure if you are a believer, but prayer right now if you are can really help to give you some peace. I really do understand where you are at and have been in your shoes. Believe me, it will get better. Please feel free to email if you need to talk.
My doc is speaking....fruit salad...not making any sense. ?stroke
 This doc stutters, stammers, doesn't know how to use the reverse key to make corrections and ...corrects over himself all the time so I have no idea what he REALLY means...
Talks through his nose, buries the words up somewhere in his left sinus I think, drops off the ends of words, I think he EATS that last parts of words so they never get said....
and now tonight he will just say terms like ...Temperature 98.5....then a pause...then Temperature 98.6....then he says I'm sorry....then he just starts in talking about the spine.
It's like standard phrases are just falling out of his mouth as he sits there and he's not even knowing he's saying them and they have no connection to what he's doing.
HE'S DRIVING ME NUTS.....ER than I am. 
It sounds like you've got a key stroke in your macro that retrieves from your clipboard.
I would delete the macro and start again. Be very deliberate and slow so you are aware of every keystroke in the macro. That's what I've had to do in the past. Sometimes I will even just one finger it so I can watch every key I hit. It's a pain, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I nearly suffered heat stroke taking a bike ride in 105 degrees.

it can also perform utilities - one stroke deletes 1 through X words to the left, jump up

FDA warns that it delivers higher doses than expected, and has a higher rate of stroke. (sm)
