For frequent users: Insert text modules via mouse or keyboard
Repeating repetitive text fragments costs nerves and time. Ghostwriter puts an end to it. The software, which is free for private use, remembers text modules and inserts them in any application at the respective cursor position - either by mouse or keyboard shortcuts.
Ghostwriter becomes noticeable after the program start as an icon in the system tray. Clicking on the icon opens a small pop-up menu. From there, you can select the desired text element from the previously inserted text elements and insert it by clicking on the current cursor position. As an alternative to the mouse selection, shortcuts can be defined for individual text blocks.
To enter new blocks, the freeware offers an editor-like interface. First, give the new element a name and then type in the text. The trick: Ghostwriter even remembers keyboard shortcuts like the input and the tab key. This allows even templates for complex web forms to be prepared.
Conclusion Ghostwriter is primarily aimed at office workers who need to type in repetitive text fragments every day. Once prepared with the required elements, Ghostwriter noticeably relieves routine typing. However, the software does not always work properly. Different processes and applications can thwart the text assistant.
