When you host your own dedicated server, you often need to enter long strings into the Terminal. Here is a simple way to autoamtically enter them by assigning the string to a function key.
Instructions for Mac:
1. Open Terminal
2. Go to Terminal menu and choose “Window Settings...”
3. At the top pop-up menu select “keyboard”
4. Scroll down to F1 (for the F1 key)
5. Double-click on F1 and paste in your long test string (I have a game duration string in there as an example).
6. Make sure the action is set to “send string to shell”
7. Then BE SURE TO CLICK ON “Use Settings as Defaults” button at the bottom.
8. That’s it! Then whenever have terminal open, just press F1 and hit return!
