Added clipboard action:
<clipboard> macro action allows to type content of system clipboard. Content of the clipboard is loaded just before a macro is being executed and is NOT updated during the execution.
Syntax:
<clipboard>%max_length
%max_length - max allowed text length - if text in clipboard exceeds this value it will not be typed. Use 0 for unlimited text length.
Example 1:
<clipboard>100
type content of clipboard only it it is no longer than 100 characters
Example 2:
<clipboard>0
type content of clipboard, no matter how much text is stored in the clipboard.
Example 3:
<clipboard>0
<delay>10000
<clipboard>0
content of system clipboard is pre-loaded before first macro action. Both <clipboard> actions will type the same text even is content of system clipboard is modified during the 10 seconds delay.
Modified syntax for <keyboard> action:
- it is now possible to use human readable key labels for <keyboard> macro actions. Use key labels from US keyboard layout. Always use "primary" label, for example, to get ! character you press shift+1 not "!" key.
- when HID keycodes are used it is now possible to use shorter format: when a single key is pressed or when a single key is pressed together with modifier (ctrl, shift...) key(s).
<keyboard> action represents state of the keyboard at a given moment. Remember that you must manually release keys (use
<keyboard> action with no parameters) or they will remain in pressed state until next macro action that affects keyboard state is executed or maco execution is finished.
Important:
macros containing <keyboard> actions with new syntax (key labels) are NOT compatible with previous app releases New syntax is now used when recording macros. Current app version is compatible with macros recorded using previous app versions.
Syntax:
<keyboard>%modifiers, 0x00, %key0, %key1*, %key2*, %key3*, %key4*, %key5*
(HID keycodes, before v1.70)
<keyboard>%key
<keyboard>%modifiers, %key
(HID keycodes, v1.71 and later)
<keyboard>%modifiers + %key
(key labels)
%modifiers - pressed modifier keys: ctrl (0x01), shift (0x02), alt (0x04), GUI/Win key (0x08)
Example 1:
<keyboard>a
(key labels)
<keyboard>0x04
(HID keycodes, a = 0x04, short format when just one non-modifier key is pressed)
press "A" key.
Example 2:
<keyboard>shift + a
(key labels)
<keyboard>0x02, 0x04
(HID keycodes, shift = 0x02, a = 0x04, short format when single non-modifier key is pressed together with modifier keys)
press "Shift+A" keys combination (to get capital "A").
Example 3:
<keyboard>ctrl+alt+delete
(key labels)
<keyboard>0x05, 0x4C
(HID keycodes, hex format, ctrl = 0x01, alt = 0x04, delete = 0x4C)
press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" keys combination.
Example 4:
<keyboard>a
<delay>2000
<keyboard>
press A key, wait 2 seconds (while keeping the key pressed), release all keys.
Example 5:
<keyboard>shift+1
press "Shift+1" keys combination (to get "!" character)
