With Right Hand Man's Macro Keys module you can create a
library of macros to automatically perform tasks, instead of
having to repeat long sequences of keystrokes manually.
When you activate the Macro Keys module, the macros defined
in the current (default) macro file are displayed. Each macro
definition includes the macro type, the activation key(s), and
the expansion (the key sequence that will be "typed" when the
macro is executed).
There are four types of macros:
RHM (Program Activate):
This is the macro that activates RHM. The grave
accent (`) is the default activation key used to pop-up
RHM.
Autodial:
This macro allows you to dial a phone number that
appears on the screen in your application program.
Export:
This macro controls the flow of information from
the export buffer. <Ctrl-E> is the default activation
key.
Normal:
Any other macro you choose to create will be a
normal macro. That is, any macro that is not one of
the three types above is a normal macro. See Creating a
New Macro.
File:
These commands involve maintaining the list of macro
files. Open, Delete, and Rename will call up the list of
macro files for you to select from.
Open: Loads a selected macro file into memory for the
current RHM session.
Save: Saves a group of macros to a file.
Delete: Deletes a macro file from the list of available
macro files.
Rename: Renames a macro file.
Exit: Exits the Macro Keys module, bringing you back to
the main program opening screen.
Macro:
New: Adds a new macro to the current list of macros.
Same as pressing the <Ins> key.
Open: Allows you to change the activation key(s) for a
default macro, or edit the activation key(s) and
expanded key sequence of a normal macro. Same as
pressing <Enter> while highlighting the macro you
want to edit.
Delete: Deletes a macro from the displayed list of macros.
It will not allow you to delete the three default
macros. Same as pressing the <Del> key.
Playback:
Allows you to take the last 64 keystrokes you typed and
edit them into a macro. In order to use the Playback
command to create a macro, you must have the "Type ahead
buffer" option turned on in the program configuration.
Macro Editing Keys:
The following keys may be used when defining and
editing a macro expanded key sequence:
<Del> The Delete key deletes a key from the macro key
sequence.
<Ins> The Insert key is used to insert a keystroke that
cannot normally be typed (ie. <Ins>, <Del>,
<Right>, <Left>, <Up>, <Down>, <Home>, <End>).
<Left> Moves one keystoke back in the macro key sequence.
<Right> Moves one keystroke forward in the macro key
sequence.
<Home> Moves to the beginning of the macro key sequence.
<End> Moves to the end of the macro key sequence.
Main Program Configuration:
Bytes to reserve for macro table (64-4096)
The default is 256 bytes. This option allocates
space for your macro file (the file that stores your
macro keys). This option may need to be increased if
you are trying to create a long macro.
Type ahead buffer
The default is No. If you enable this option, you
can type up to 64 characters ahead of the computer's
ability to display the characters on the screen. This
option must be turned on in order to use Playback to
create a macro.
