Binding clips to keyboard

Is there a way to bind a clip in the clip library to a keystroke? I tried recording a macro of inserting a specific clip, since I know you can bind macros to the keyboard, but the macro recorder doesn't seem to remember clip insertion.

You will need an external macro tool, I reccommend Macro Express 3.
1. Make sure your clip libraries begin with unique chars. Given names like "1. Xml 2. Java 3. Python" will help. This allows direct access to the clip library.

2. In the clip libraries, make sure clip names have unique beginnings also. You cna use letters. If more than one clip for a char exists, the first one will be the main one.

3.Use ME3 to make a macro which goes to the clip library, goes to the right library, and then inserts the desired clip.
