The New/Edit Macro Shortcut window is opened by selecting Add Macro from the Keyboard Configuration Window context menu, or double-clicking an existing macro.

The Macro Shortcut window contains the following fields and buttons:

• Enter Key: Sets the keyboard shortcut for the macro. Place the cursor in this field and press the desired shortcut keys to set the key value.

• Macro Name: Displays the macro category (for example macros:, gui:, viz: ) and the name of the macro. If a folder was selected when the Macro was opened, the category name will automatically be displayed in the Name text box. The category name can be set or changed in the Name field by adding the category and macro name separated by a colon (<macro category>:<macro name>).

  Note: If a category is not added to the name it will be placed in the macros category. It is also possible to add new categories by defining them in the macro (for example foo:bar).

• Global: Makes the macro work including when a template is open.

• Description: Description of the macro.

• Macro Commands: The names of the selected Predefined Functions for Keyboard Configuration are displayed.

• VB Script: A text field where script code can be entered. This provides the possibility to further enhance and adapt the commands.
