SO I've done one line shortcuts but I'm curious how I would create a multi-line text shortcut.

^End::SendInput {Raw}My favorite Links for newbies:

This is what I currently use. By pressing CTRL+END it will paste the text. The problem is that I need list the links below on each succeeding line. I'm not sure how I would grasp then following lines.

^End::SendInput {Raw}My favorite Links for newbies:

2. Link2
3. Link3

^End::SendInput My favorite Links for newbies: {enter}1. Link1{enter}2. Link2{enter}3. Link3

And I don't think it will work with 'raw'
