Can you create a shortcut key that inserts text?

Question

In Microsoft Outlook you can save frequently used text and create a shortcut key that will insert it into an email. I want to create a similar shortcut key and put it on my desktop toolbar. Is there a command code that allows you to do this?

Basically, I'm tired of constantly entering login information when I sign into various sites (I set my browser up so it deletes cookies and login info). I'd rather just click the username field and click a shortcut button that inserts my username.

get the app or extension for your browser called "roboform", this does exactly what you ask for and allows you to manage all of your accounts, it is also a highly secure database

This is not actually trivial. I tried doing this simply on Windows with vb script and the sendkeys() function but it didn't work so I wrote something in Java using the robots class. Anyway if you don't know how to program then erm
you could set your browser to remember what you previously entered in textboxes (form history).
or use that ctrl + v thing I've heard so much about =3

The latest web browsers all do this by default now. If you're not running the latest version then you should upgrade.
