New spin-off product based on macros

[GaurangTandon]

1. People need snippet insertion based on macros. For example, just press Shift+1 inside of a textarea and corresponding snippet will be inserted.
2. We can't insert this feature into current ProKeys since it'll confuse people who don't need.
3. But the idea itself is valid. If I work in customer care, I would assign the most frequently used snippets to Shift+1, Shift+2, Shift+3 etc. Then I would not even need to type abbrevs. for it. It is even less of a hassle.
4. So, we can recycle existing code to create a new product (ProMacroKeys) which eliminates abbrevs. and uses macro keys instead.
5. People can always operate both ProKeys (abbrevs.) and ProMacroKeys (macros) together for the most seamless work experience.

What say? @iWrote

I guess if you could use both products simultaneously then it should be fine to spin-off. But I'd rather include it into ProKey's current feature-set.

It won't really be that confusing if it's done properly.

A favourite snips section on the snippets page which clearly states that you can bind your fav snips to shortcut key combos.

Problems

1. Circuit chaos. Must include ctrl/shift/alt otherwise keyboards can malfunction. Multiple keys are often sent through same circuit routes and simultaneous keystroke selection is faulty beyound 3 keys.
2. Auto-check for Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc.
3. Clash, Shift + 1 + 2 vs Shift + 1. Must have a rule like - Use one or two special keys with any ONE other key.

Wouldn't this be feature overload for amateur users? I guess we could create a separate ProKeys app like "ProKeys-overlord" for things like this issue and others: #143 , #141 , #78 , #30

Normal users are bound to be confused by these things, they already are unable to comprehend the vast existing powers (refer uninstall form - people are unable to get simple signatures to work).

ProKeys Companion? K, sounds good.
