Here's what we like about it: 1) it's under 1MB to download 2) it has a portable mode 3) it's free 4) it's easy to use...and last, but certainly not least, 5) it's a massive time-and-effort saver.
Install it, move your mouse to the side of your screen, and the Type In windows slides in to view. Single click on one of your snippets and it's sent to the active application.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
