Sometimes we have to wait a few days to see if a free promo is still valid . In today’s case the promotion seemed to not work anymore, since after installation a registration key was required ( although the german text talked about a full registered version )
You must know us by now
… As long as the promo is not announced as expired, we consider it valid . Mainly because it is a very important software offered for free , we “were not afraid” to contact by mail the developer , asking for our licence key . Of course the guys from ComfortSoftware.com have kindly supplied the key two days later .
So we can now share this tip with you !
Comfort Keys Lite is not only a new generation hotkey manager but much more than that , having complex tools like:

- Automation tool
- On-Screen Keyboard
- Clipboard Manager
- Template Manager
- Language Switcher with Language Bar
The main function of the automation tool is allowing the configuration of hotkeys for quick execution of all your actions. And that more conveniently than Windows does.

The second important utility : it allows the insertion of predefined texts (email templates, signatures, passwords, greetings, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) using hotkeys or the built-in template manage.
The third utility - The clipboard manager is really brillant - showing in its left part a list of recently-clipped items ( in a scrollbox ) and on the right side the content of the currently-selected clip .
Very handy for text-working people like us !
According to the official site : “Comfort Keys will help you to:
* Launch the necessary programs and open web pages by pressing a single hotkey.
* Insert predefined texts (email templates, signatures, passwords, greetings, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) using hotkeys or the built-in template manager.
* Change the language and case of the typed text.
* Control the sound volume in a quick and convenient manner.
* Record key press sequences (macros) and play them back as many times as you need.
* Block some keys or simulate the press of a specific key when another one is pressed; etc…”
See all operations and their icons in tables from screenshots .
The promo version is 3.1.3.0 while the latest version is 3.5.3.5. Our friends coming from from Giveawayoftheday.com might remember the giveaway of Version 2.0.3.1, in October 2007 , which was well rated . We confess we were among those regreting the obvious disappearance of this quality software from the list of giveaways.
If you’re searching for excellent macro recording features ( and not only ) we strongly recommend the famous freeware Autohotkey .
Coming back to the complex Comfort Keys, we have also taken screenshots of the comparative beetwen the Light ( $ 19.95 ) and Pro Versions ( $ 29.95 ) . Let’s see WHAT YOU DON’T GET with the light version :

… All nice “extra” features BUT NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES . The light version has more than enough features . Once you get along with it you’re in danger to become addicted !
