I know there are two commercial programs from Borland, SIDEKICK
and SUPERKEY, first has possibility to edit a file, select part
of it and pass the selected part as it was typed from keyboard;
the second allows writing macros, editing them and replying.
They both are TSR, callable by pressing a hot-key.
Of course they can do a lot of other things, e.g. SIDEKICK has the
editor which is WordStar compatible, can import data from screen
end export by defining a key, calculator (+-*/ hex/binary/decimal),
ascii table, calendar, dialer. I don't remember much about SUPERKEY.

And there are several programs for KB macros on simtel in
directory PD:<MSDOS.KEYBOARD>, get 00-INDEX.TXT for info.
