For anybody interested in macros the current version of bazecor can insert as part of a macro _any_ key, like the led commands, or the mouse emulation or the multimedia/led keys. Finally you can also insert fixed-length or random-length time delays.

@Dominique, you can also create whole snippets of codes you need often, like: from the command line launch your interpreter (python, npm, etc), autowrite some code and exec it or automove the cursor in the part the needs configurations (text, etc)

macros help with filling out job applications as typing out address lines can be tedious and time consuming, but a macro allows each address to be typed out in 1 key press. this is very helpful when you have 15 addresses to type out per application and you plan on doing 10 to 50 applications. that's alot of saved keystrokes. to reduce strain, and also save time.

Those shortcuts you have pinned to your Taskbar can be started with the Windows key + number 1 to 0 for the ten first shortcuts. You wouldn't have more than 10, right?

So at Windows Startup, I always hold the Windows key and push 1, 2, 3, and 5 to open those 5 programs.

2:45 Genious! Need to try that one. (And never forget to close parentesis ever again.

If I put macros on my keyboard and then plug it into a different computer than the initial one I set the macros on will it still work? New to all of this and it seems like a lot of potential.

You forgot to add the "Disclaimer: never store passwords on Macros" you guys talked about in your recent livestream😅

Also I'm confused about what can be recorded and what can't. I tried to record macros to copy, remove, and add hyperlinks in Word and nothing recorded when I performed the actions. Can you explain in a later video what kind of sequences maybe have to be recorded in a software rather than on the keyboard? Thanks!

Also fun to connect AHK macros to macro keys

Tried to purchase the defi, but your site has a glitch. It does not allow me to select the wireless option and complete the purchase. Can you please check?

As obvious as this might sound, note that not every keystroke combo needs to be added as a macro. You can just add modifiers to your keys. This will save you memory if you have a gazillon keystrokes tied to macros as I do. It's also quicker. And I have also created combo thumb keys like CtrlAlt and CtrlAltShift to make it easier to type shortcuts.

How do you set it up to open your frequently apps at once? Do you have a video for this?

Toggle macro? I click the key, it does the macro, on repeat, forever, until I press it again... Currently if you put a macro inside another macro that call each other, the keyboard just crashes after a few loops.

[laxmanmistry]

are but how and using what keys we can set macros ???

[ajaikrishnajm]

will this macro work on normal non programmable keyboards ?

[NuryPPanaligan]

The autocad macros section feels so wrong. AutoCAD already has "macros" already and you don't really need to memorize because it's basically 1 to 4 letter shortcuts of the stuff you want to do most of the time. For example, co or cp for copy, ro for rotate, rec for rectangle, bl for block, l for line, pl for polyline.

[jamesromanski]

I was right withyou until you mentioned bazecor... Why isn't this just native in Windows 11?

"... and even to game faster" nononono, don't get yourself banned pls thx

Macro doesn't sound like a word anymore.
