Key Sender

You’re not always near the computer to respond to any sudden requests, which put a halt to the specific operation until further notice. However, there are various applications out there like Key Sender that want to help you in this regard by offering the possibility to have keystrokes automatically sent for more comfort.

A neat advantage of the application is that it doesn’t need to be installed on your computer to function. This also means you can carry it around with you on a USB flash drive, and use it on other computers as well. It’s perfectly safe, because no registries need to be modified in this regard.

All of the application’s features are stored in a pretty compact main window that doesn’t pose any accommodation problems, not even to inexperienced users. This simplicity is greatly enhanced by the description found in the upper side of the main window.

Key Sender works by using the key or combination of keys you specify to perform specific operations, depending on what effect the configured keys have on the active window. Specifying buttons is pretty easy, with an input field that only required you to write them down.

However, special keys like Ctrl, and Alt can’t be inserted by pressing them, so you need to write down a custom tag. Luckily, pressing the Special Keys button expands the main window with a really large list of tags you can use for different keys.

In addition to buttons, the application also needs to know when and how many times to send the command. This is also done via input fields for pause time, which basically represents the delay between commands, while the other field represents the amount.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Key Sender is a practical little utility that comes in handy when you either need to keep the computer active so ongoing processes don’t suddenly end or pause. Although it lacks several features that bring it to the pro league, its simplicity and straightforwardness make it just right for small tasks that need quick setup.
