command.
Executing
means that you have executed a command by pressing keys or other normal user input.
Realtime
means that the command originated from your pushing executor buttons and has been processed with a
high priority.
Macro
means that the command is originating from some direct key press (like double tapping the
Backup key), or a macro.
