Record

Key

SHIFT+CTRL+R

The Record function toggles macro recording. While a macro is being recorded, PWB displays the letter X on the status bar, and a bullet appears next to the Record On command from the Edit menu. If a menu command cannot be recorded, it is disabled while recording.

When macro recording is stopped, PWB assigns the recorded commands to the default macro name Playback. During the recording, PWB writes the name of each command to the definition of Playback in the Record window, which can be viewed as it is updated.

Macro recording in PWB does not record changes in cursor position accomplished by clicking the mouse. Use the keyboard if you want to include cursor movements in a macro.

Arg textarg Record (ALT+A textarg SHIFT+CTRL+R)

Meta Record (F9 SHIFT+CTRL+R)

Arg Record (ALT+A SHIFT+CTRL+R) Arg Arg textarg Record (ALT+A ALT+A textarg SHIFT+CTRL+R) Arg Arg Meta Record (ALT+A ALT+A F9 SHIFT+CTRL+R)

As above but if the target macro already exists, the commands are appended to the end of the macro.
