    The shortkeys.xml file should be utf-8 encoded, even if the encoding
    can be defined in the properties.

    With the key <, the script enter a "search mode" for a shortkey
    sequence. This key is hard coded and can't be changed (unless you edit
    the code).

    The text from the shortkeys file is sent to the keyboard using the
    send_input API function. With using the use.ctrl_v='1' attribute in a
    data element, the text will be place in the clipboard and paste (with
    sending the keys ctlr + v) at the cursor position.

        <data k= 'a' use.ctrl_v= '1'>
         This text will be copied and paste. 
         And the new line will be preserved.
        </data>

    In the xml file, data elements can be combine using a dataref element.

The values of the k attribute are a-z string composed of lower case character(s) (a string can have two or more characters).
I call those strings shortkeys and when press on the keyboard after they < key with the script running, the key pressed are replaced by the content of the corresponding data element.

For example, with the cursor in an opened notepad file, hitting the two keys <j when the script is running will replace this 
two characters with the value of the corresponding <data> element: Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics.

The shortkeys.xml file should be utf-8 encoded, even if the encoding can be defined in the properties.
