6. Macro Manager
Macro Manager: This menu gives you the possibility to enter and save your own sequences of key commands. A new macro can be created on the left side of the Macro Manager window by clicking on the "+" symbol. A click on the pencil symbol opens the possibility of changing the name of the selected macro. Please note: The maximal capacity of the macro manager is 391 entries. All further entries above this amount will not be recorded and saved by the software. Existing entries can then be deleted to be able to create new ones. A new recording is started by clicking on the "REC" box. A blue check in the box indicates that the recording is in process. Each key pressed is now included in the macro. The software displays both the pressing and the releasing of the respective key. Each key thus appears twice in the recording. The longer the respective key is pressed, the greater is the displayed delay for the input. Alternatively, it is possible to set a fixed delay for all keys. This is shown in milliseconds. To do this, the desired length of the delay is simply entered in the respective black field. A click on the "STOP" check box is enough to remove the check mark and stop the recording. The registered delay can be altered as desired any time after the recording. You then have the option to select individual keys and to move them up, down, to the beginning or to the end of the macro sequence by using the symbols which are below the displayed macro on the right. The insertion of mouse buttons in a recorded macro is also possible. To do this, double-click on a desired entry in the macro. In addition, individual keystrokes can also be removed or the entire macro deleted here. After the macro has been completed, it can be renamed and saved if desired.
