For instance, I have 5 proposal lines that relate to painting of block =

called BW1, BW2, BW3, BW4, BW5 (BW standing for block walls).



Hi mafixit,

I'm not your ma... but maybe use the built-in feature for that kind of =
thing (AutoText)?

Ctrl+A+1 isn't a valid shortcut, either. You might use a prefix, as in =
Ctrl+A, 1 (Ctrl and A simultaneously, release, 1).
Or you might run a macro on one simple shortcut, and then fetch the name =
of your "AutoText" ("BW1", ...) from the user in an InputBox.
