If you use the numeric keypad to enter dimensions (and if your dimensions are of the antiquated feet and inches variety), you know that the only problem is not having a "feet" symbol, i.e. the single-quote character, on the keypad. You have to keep moving your hand over to the typewriter keyboard to hit the single-quote key.
I've just switched to a new macro utility, because my old one, mgSimplify, stopped working under Windows 2000. The new one, Macro Express ($40), can distinguish between the keys on the numeric keypad and the same character keys on the typewriter keyboard. So I've assigned the asterisk key on the numeric keypad to generate a single-quote, and now I can enter feet and inches more quickly and fluidly, without that constant rattling back and forth to find the single-quote key.
