I would highly reccomend that you break down and spend the $19 and get keyclone. For ease of use and technical support (right here on the forums from the Dev) IMO you cant beat it. Sometimes spending a little cash is worth the time and effort you will spend on a free item. I know some people here use Octopus and love it, but I think Keyclone is soooo much easier for a new user to get up and running quickly.

P.S. I have no affiliation with Keyclone or Octopus.
