Is there a way I can record a sequence of keystroke and replay them repetitively as required?
e.g.
ntel<enter><enter>n2els<enter><enter>1<enter>q<enter>
I know how to setup shortcut but as you can see in the above I have CR/LF (<enter>) in it.
I would like to be able to repeat those strings of keystrokes say x times.
any help would be much grateful

In System Preferences->Keyboard->Text you can enter as many text abbreviations as you like.
I suggest you type the desired text in a text editor, e.g., TextEdit, select it, Copy, then in System Preferences->Keyboard->Text
type the desired abbreviation and Paste the text.
For example, I copied the two paragraphs above and pasted in System Preferences->Keyboard->Text
and it worked!

Yes, and that is why I recommended that you write it in a text editor and then copy and paste it. If you were to type it into the box directly it would take enter as finishing the text, but if you copy and paste a full paragraph, or more, there will be no problem.
