Playing Macros
Follow the steps below to initiate macros:
1. Click the Play key within the dialog box, or select Play from the Macro pulldown
menu.
2. Click the F# key associated with the macro you wish to recall.
3. The macro will automatically be recalled.
4. The macro will automatically terminate once all keys have been played. If you
desire, the macro may be terminated at any point by pressing the Quit key. If
the key pressed to exit macro play mode was anything other than Quit, there
will be a beep to notify you of the (possibly unintentional) cancellation.
Pauses and Delays
There are certain key sequences, such as a logon password, that a user may wish
to exclude from a macro. At any point while recording a macro key sequence, the
Pause key may be clicked to temporarily suspend record mode. The keystrokes
from this point forward will not be recorded within the macro until macro record
mode is resumed by pressing the Record key. The Quit key will abandon the
macro, even while macro record is paused.
If the Pause key is pressed while in macro record mode, besides suspending
recording, it will be embedded within the macro and cause the macro to pause
automatically each time it is played back.
While playing back a macro the Pause key may be pressed to temporarily suspend the
macro. At this point you may type in normal mode. Pressing the Play key will
resume the macro. The Quit key will abandon the macro and return you to normal
mode, even while macro play is paused.
If delays are desired within macros, the Delay key may be clicked while in record
mode to embed an approximately one second delay within the macro. This may be
clicked multiple times to extend the length of the delay.
