3. If you are creating a macro, type a 1-32 character name in the Macro Name field.
4. To build the macro, you may select keystrokes from a set of categories, or type the keystroke definitions. The categories contain many commonly-used keystrokes, and provide an easy alternative to typing the keystroke definitions.
To build the macro from the categories, select a category in the Available Keystrokes pulldown menu and then select keystrokes from the adjacent pulldown menu, clicking Add after each keystroke selection. The selected keystrokes appear in the Keystrokes field.
To build the macro by typing the keystroke definitions, enter the text in the Keystrokes field, as follows:
• Letters and numbers may be entered without additional symbols.
• To specify a keystroke such as Enter or Home, type the name of the keystroke and surround that text with a less than (<) and greater than (>) symbol (for example,<Enter>)
• To specify auxiliary keystrokes such as Control, Shift or Alt, where the command requires a press hold and release, type the initial press keystroke (for example, <Ctrl-Press>), then type the name of the keystroke, letter or number of the command, followed by the closing release (for example, <Ctrl-Release>).
