Hi

I need some help on macros.

I recently upgraded to version 5.4.2. In the older version - I think it was 4.7.3 - it was possible to associate keyboard shortcuts like "ctrl+1" to my home made macros, but I can't find that feature in the new version. Now I have to type "alt+m", and then "1". And if I want to run the macro twice, I have to repeat it all, or use "ctrl+F7", and specify the macro, I want to run more than once

In the older version I could just hold "ctrl" down, and type "1" as many time as I wanted to run the macro.

Could it be right that this efficient feature is missing in 5.4.2, or is just me that have ignored some setting?

You can assign your own keyboard shortcuts to macros. I don't think anything has changed in this aspect between 4.7.3 and 5.4.2, but here's a refresher on how to do it.

1. Click Configure > Preferences.
2. Click Keyboard.
3. In Categories, click Macros.
4. In Commands, click the name of the macro you want to assign a shortcut to.
5. Click in Press new shortcut key, then press the desired shortcut key.
6. Click Assign.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 if you want to assign more shortcut keys.

Perfect!

Of course it was just me who had forgotten how to do it.

Thanks for the reply
