Does Canvas provide the ability to build keyboard shortcuts for repeated text (like macros in excel)?

When building questions and in other rich content editor environments, does Canvas have a way to build a macro or keyboard short cut to paste repeatedly used lines of text?

What a HUGE time saver that would be!!

I don't think Canvas does that.

Some browser plug-ins claim to do that, but they do not always work nicely with Canvas.

Hi @anita_belew,

I agree with the others that this is not something Canvas does itself.  If you're on windows, I've used Autohotkey in the past pretty successfully.  It's a windows app, so not related to Canvas or a web browser at all.  It's been years since I used it, but I think it was on the easy side to set up and use.

Hope this helps!
