A hotkey is a combination of keys that, when pressed together, plays back a macro. Macro Express allows hotkey combinations ranging from a single key up to four keys pressed simultaneously.
Keyboard Express - Explorer > Macro > New Macro
HotKey
To activate a macro with a hotkey, make sure the HotKey activation is selected. Place the cursor in the edit box and hold down the hotkey combination desired. That combination is placed in the edit box. This is the hotkey pressed to activate the macro. If not sure which combination to use, scroll through the list of keys and highlight the hotkey. This action also inserts the hotkey combination into the edit box.
The hotkey selection is grayed out if the combination is already in use. If the assigned macro has a Specific Window scope, the hotkey combination may be used again. The hotkey may not be used a second time if the macro scope is set to Global.
Macro Nickname
Optionally assign a name to the macro to later help more readily determine what the macro does.
Available HotKey Combinations
Keyboard Express supports 846 different key combinations. Macros may be assigned to any of these keys. The following is a comprehensive list of available hotkeys.
