With Quick Blogcast, you can set up hot keys to insert text in your comments using the Ctrl key and any available keystroke. Hot keys are a convenient way to repeat the same phrase in multiple comments without retyping the comment. For example, you may want to create a hot key that inserts the phrase, "Thank you for your comments. We will carefully consider your suggestions for a future release of our product."
Note: Certain hot key combinations will not work correctly if they are already mapped by your browser. For instance, CTRL+C is already mapped for the Copy function in most browsers.
For a list of Internet Explorer shortcuts, see Microsoft Help and Support's shortcut list.
