The Timing button allows you turn on the timing defined in each macro line or to just run it as fast as possible. Read
more about macro timing in the
Test Macro:
This button allows you to test run the macro before closing the editor. All commands are executed, so this is not a
macro simulation.
Test Line:
This can be used to test the highlighted macro line (white or blue frame). This can be useful in the creation
process.
Load Predefined:
Label:
If you want to label the macro, then you can tap this button. It opens the
Enter Name for.. pop-up
. Here you can
write the macro name.
Main part
The main part of the editor is where you can add, edit, see, and delete the lines with the commands.
There are five columns in this part.
No.:
This is the macro line number. You cannot edit it, but it can be useful to see the macro line number for instance
when the macro is executed.
CMD (Command):
The CMD is short for Command. This is where you type your macro command. You can use the keyboard to write
the command. But when the
Edit CMD pop-up
is active then your command line input has a red background - like
this:
Command Line input with red background
This means that you can also use the physical keys to type your command without executing the command - it is
sent to the Edit CMD pop-up.
Each macro line has an automatic "Please" at the end of the line - even though it is not displayed. This executes
the macro line. The exception to this is if the macro line finishes with a "@". This is special character used to allow
the macros to interact with user input. Please read more about this in the
Command line interaction topic
