				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="update">We&#8217;ve released brand new major version 3 of our clipboard utility, <strong><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/fastpaste" target="_blank">FastPaste</a></strong>. FastPaste was the first utility that we&#8217;ve ever released, and this new major version is a <strong>complete</strong> rewrite.</p>
<h2>Declaring war on stupid typing</h2>
<p>In many jobs, you have to type something again and again, whether each day or multiple times a week. And not just one thing, but many different things. Again and again.</p>
<p>In our book, that&#8217;s stupid. It&#8217;s soulless work. Where&#8217;s the juice, the passion, the excitement in that?!</p>
<p>Human beings shouldn&#8217;t do stupid repetitive things. That&#8217;s what we have technology for. </p>
<p>FastPaste can do the stupid typing for you, so you can have more time for learning, creativity, real contribution, your family, friends, hobbies, fun and relaxation. </p>
<p>Did you know that 10 minutes saved daily is 60 hours in a year? That&#8217;s equivalent of one and half of work-week! In that time, you could learn a new language, launch a new project, go on several wonderful trips, get fit &#8211; or anything else that you love doing.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s just in 1 year. If you can save 60 hours <em>each</em> year, the extra <strong>life</strong> you will get stacks up rapidly.</p>
<h2>FastPaste is here to give you YOUR time back</h2>
<p>How it works?</p>
<p>Example: Pressing <strong>Ctrl+1</strong> can insert my name (&#8220;Jiri Novotny&#8221;) into any application.</p>
<p>FastPaste allows you to <strong><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/fastpaste" target="_blank">insert text with hotkeys</a></strong>. There are 30 clips (fields). Each has a customizable hotkey. The first clip has default hotkey <strong>Control+1</strong>, the second <strong>Control+2</strong>, and so on.</p>
<p>When you press the hotkey, FastPaste will automatically insert the text in that particular clip (field).</p>
<p>FastPaste can paste plain text, rich text (RTF), images.</p>

<h2>Keyboard scripts</h2>
<p>You can also create <strong>keyboard scripts</strong>, to send key sequences and/or combinations. </p>
<p>You can use the scripts to do many cool things, like filling various forms with just a single hotkey.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a FastPaste script:</p>
<p><code>John<br />
{TAB}<br />
hawai777<br />
{CONTROL}{ENTER}</code></p>
<p>The script above will type &#8220;John&#8221;, then send the <strong>Tab</strong> key, then type &#8220;hawai777&#8243;, and then send <strong>Control + Enter</strong> combination.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s new in FastPaste 3</h2>
<p>Because the new version is a complete rewrite, there is nothing left unimproved.</p>
<p>The new features include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Keyboard scripts</strong> that you can use to fill forms, send key sequences and key combinations and much more. It can emulate not just typing, but a press of any key or key combination.</li>
<li><strong>Encryption</strong> to protect your clips and data from unauthorized access</li>
<li>Portable &#8211; can be deployed to USB thumb-drive</li>
<li>New <strong>beautiful</strong> look and feel</li>
<li>Resizable window</li>
<li><strong>Docking</strong> support, so you can dock FastPaste into sidebar</li>
<li>Display clips in 1 column, 2 columns, or 3 columns</li>
<li>10 quick projects with global hotkeys; access over 300 clips with keyboard</li>
<li>Unicode support</li>
<li>Support for various screen DPIs</li>
<li>Better handling of global hotkeys, only hotkeys for used clips are registered</li>
<li>Smart detection of conflicting hotkeys</li>
<li>Nicer HTML export of hotkeys overview</li>
<li>Ability to paste images with transparency</li>
<li>Preview images directly in the main Fast Paste window</li>
<li>Ability to contact us directly from the program (using menu Help &#8211; Contact)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Download fully functional 30-day trial of FastPaste</h2>
<p>If you would like to give FastPaste a go, you can <strong><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/download/fastpaste">download a fully functional 30-day trial of FastPaste</a></strong>. The only limitation in the trial is that it can&#8217;t deployed to USB thumb-drive.<br />
