Non-Tool Based Tip

Fast Manual Kit Entry in GM/GMP and save as Tag Group

2. Download this zip file and extract folder locally.  

3. Paste your kit list into the list.txt file in the HOTKEY folder.

4. Go to GM or GMP MKA manual list entry.

6. Double click the appropriate script in the extracted HOTKEY folder (GM or GMP).

7. Go back to GM/GMP and click the next available field for entry in MKA manual entry and hit F3.  This should paste the next available kit from the kit list and moves the cursor to the next empty field (single tab in GMP, double tab in GM).
