A keystroke macro is a sequence of keystrokes and their combinations. You have to only once specify what keys should be pressed and Comfort Keys will repeat these keystrokes as many times as you specify.
You can use this type of actions to:
| • | Create keyboard shortcuts practically for any actions. One keyboard shortcuts will be enough now in those cases when you had to press several keys. |
| • | Fill out forms. |
| • | Enter the username and password. |
| • | Quickly print a predefined number of document copies. |
| • | And much more. If you often perform the same operation, think if you could automate it. Remember that practically any action can be performed without using the mouse. |
To start recording a macro, click the Record button.
To stop recording it, press the Pause key or click the record icon in the system tray.
During recording, all your keyboard actions are saved to the table that has several fields:
| • | Delay before the next action. |
| • | Event type – whether the key is pressed down or released. |
| • | Key code. |
| • | The sign that the key is an extended one. |
You can edit a previously recoded macro or create a new macro without recording it. To do it, click the Edit button.
After the macro is recorded, you can specify advanced parameters how it is to be played:
| • | Play speed. |
| • | Number of repetitions. |
| • | The name of the process that should be activated before you start playing the macro. For example, you can make the window of Windows Media Player active before the macro is played. If Windows Media Player is not running at the moment, the macro will not be played. |
You can stop playing the macro at any moment. To do it, click the Pause or Esc key or click the playback icon in the system tray.
