• Edit a macro command: double-click it to open the Macro Shortcut window.

• Delete a macro command: select it and then either press the CTRL + DELETE keys, or select Delete Macro from the context menu.

• Remove a macro command shortcut: select the macro and then either press the DELETE key, or select Remove Shortcut from the context menu.

Macro Shortcut

The New/Edit Macro Shortcut window is opened by selecting Add Macro from the Keyboard Configuration Window context menu, or double-clicking an existing macro.

The Macro Shortcut window contains the following fields and buttons:

• Enter Key: Sets the keyboard shortcut for the macro.

• Macro Name: Displays the macro category (for example macros:, gui:, viz: ) and the name of the macro. If a folder was selected when the Macro was opened, the category name is automatically displayed in the Name text box. The category name can be set or changed in the Name field by adding the category and macro name separated by a colon (<macro category>:<macro name>).

  • Note: If a category is not added to the name it will be placed in the macros category. It is also possible to add new categories by defining them in the macro (for example foo:bar).

• Global: Makes the macro work even if no playlist is open.

• Description: Description of the macro.

• Macro Commands: The names of the selected Predefined Functions are displayed.

• VB Script: A text field where script code can be entered. This provides the possibility to further enhance and adapt the commands.
  

  IMPORTANT! The function stub named RunScript must be used as the main script or entry point for other scripts. It can therefore not be renamed or removed.

• Show Macros: Opens the Predefined Functions window.

• Save As New: Saves the macro as a new instance.

• OK: Saves the macro, either as a new or modified macro.

• Cancel: Closes the window, without saving any changes.
