I looked around the forum for inputactions as they don't seem to work here.
Here's what I did:
Go to system preferences - regional and accessability - input actions.
Click on new action, give it a name and set type to Keyboard Shortcut -> Keyboard input (simple)

After searching long and hard for something to automate keystrokes [like keying in strings of data etc.] I finally found out about the following that works a treat.
Open a terminal window and key in ...

... from there on it's pretty obvious how things work if you look at the examples given and play around - bit messy at first but can save loads of time once set up.
