No Shortcut Keys to play Macros?

Post by Joe Scuderi »

This is an excellent program, but don't tell me you have to select your macros every time you want to run them from the menu? How do we create keyboard shortcuts for our new macros?

Configure Menu --> Preferences --> Keyboard

Choose "Macros" in the second column, and then choose any individual macro from the third column. Click your mouse in the "Press new shortcut key" textbox, and type the key command you desire. Finally, click Apply.

Look in the help documentation, under

How To --> Customize Settings --> Keyboard

for more information.

(Be careful, however, to document what keyboard mapping belong to which macro. You may find yourself having to re-map them every now and then. This problem only happens with macros, and is a known issue. Depending on how heavy you develop macros, this may or may not affect you.)
