Can you just do it for the document you are working on, Mr Tugwell?

[carlosarzate]

Is there a way you can do this but on the computer in general, an extension or application that will let you paste through the key shortcuts to any blank space on any web page?

Very helpful. I was trying to figure out how to create a hot key for inserting a checkable box aka "check box content control" and I couldn't find it anywhere in the commands to create a hot key for, but it did let me save it as an autotext that I could then assign a shortcut key to

Thank you for the clear, straightforward instructions, very much appreciated. I used 'ys' for Yours Sincerely, but discovered I needed to press the F3 key after typing 'ys' for it to work 😃👍

[brandonehrhardt]
