Keyboard Script is a Microsoft Windows program that saves a keystroke combination and replays it to perform a repetitive task, much like a macro. A kbs file stores the saved keystrokes for use by the program.
The format is a simple text file containing instructions for the keystrokes.
Use Keyboard Script on Microsoft Windows to open and use a kbs file.
A text editor may display the file's instructions, but it will not replay the saved keystrokes.
Conversion to other formats is not possible. The file can be read as text, but its saved keystrokes cannot be meaningfully converted without software that understands Keyboard Script.
If Keyboard Script is unavailable, the keystrokes must be recreated manually in another macro or automation tool.
