Hello there..I'm wondering if it's possible to customise one of the Function keys to paste a preset message whenever I press it. I'm always having to type in one same message to vendors whenever I buy something online, which is to leave the parcel by the door and not to send to the post office if nobody is home for delivery.
I want to program a pre-set message into one of the function or hotkeys. Is it possible to do that? I have an iMac running mountain lion 10.8.4. Thanks heaps!

Maybe the following text expanding / text macro applications* can help:

*
Such applications are text replacement utilities to insert blocks of text into other applications by simply typing a few user defined keystrokes. Anytime a user defined keystroke combination is typed, it is substituted with the replacement text.
Example: you type "email1" and that text expands to "thisismyemailaddress@hotmail.xxx".
It might not work with passwords though.
Click to expand...
