Hi. I am new to this forum and Windows and I apologise if this has been asked/answered before.
Is it possible to program (say) a function key to

1) Open a notepad file then
2) Select all (ctrl-A) then
3) Copy to clipboard (ctrl-c) then
4) Open chrome browser then
5) Open a browser extension then
6) Paste (ctrl-v) then
7) Hit enter

All with one key stroke?

I am looking for a sort of cross app macro to save me a whole lot of time.

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated
