I've tried with the Remap shortcuts to map a shortcut like Win + F12 to "type" a string of text but I can't figure out how to do that. Imagine I had a really long name and every time I had to type it I could just hit Win + F12 and wherever I currently am (browser, notepad, etc) that text would be automagically typed for me. There are a few such long text strings that I have to enter a dozen times a day and would quite like to automate that. Using Remap shortcuts I can get it to map Win + F12 to the first character and Win + F11 to the second character and so on but that's madness.

Is this even possible?
