Macro Run

 

This function is the key to stringing macros together. Incorporate one or several macros into another macro by inserting this command into the macro script. The called macro starts playing when the script finds the Macro Run command.
 

For example, Macro #1 begins by opening an application, entering some text and then calling Macro #2. Macro #2 plays back the contents of its macro and reverts back to Macro #1 when finished. Macro #1 continues playing the remainder of the script.

 

 
Keyboard Express - Editor > Macro Run
 
Macro File Name

Since Macro Express allows more than a single macro file to be open at one time, click on the Browse button and locate the file that contains the macro to be run. Or manually type in the file and path.

 

Notes: 

1: If the Macro Filename field is left blank, Keyboard Express looks for the macro in the same file as the macro currently being written.

2: The Macro Run command runs a macro regardless of whether or not it is disabled.

3: If two macros have the same name the one with the earliest index number will run.

 

Macro Nickname

Click on the Browse button to select the macro to run. Macro nicknames are displayed for any macro files that are currently open. If the macro file containing the macro to be run is not currently open, then type the macro name in the edit box.
