Key Macros

I used Hotstrings to automate the typing of user names in a Logon dialog for Microsoft Dynamics POS 2009. I ended up using the following code:

#HotString C1 O
#IfWinActive Logon
::m::Mike{Tab}
::d::Dave{Tab}
::j::Jenny{Tab}
::f::Fern{Tab}
::b::Barbara{Tab}
::s::Sammy{Tab}

It has the following features:

User types the first letter of his/her name, presses tab, enter, or space, and AHK fills in the entire user name and moves the input cursor to the password field
Doesn't retain the user-typed capitalization (so "m" always turns into "Mike" and not "mike")
Doesn't retain the user-typed initiation character (so if the user types enter to initiate the replacement, it is suppressed)
Only responds within a window with the title "Logon"
