How to use EasyClicks Macros

1- To start creating a macro click on the + button indicated below:

2- After that you could select a key or 2 of them combined (to be used to call the macro)
3- Do the actions to include in the macro.
4- And stop recording: pressing the stop key (that can be set in the options menu), OR clicking on
the button indicated below (appears after selecting the key or keys to call the macro):

ALTERNATIVELY:
2'- You can as well click on the button indicated below to specify steps one at a time but with more
details:

Then there are two options depending on whether you want to specify a mouse action -follow
instructions on A- or if you want to specify a keyboard action -follow instructions on B-. As an
example these instructions will tell you how to create a macro in particular (which will end a task
on the Google Chrome Task Manager and then return the focus to its list to select another, in this
case just by pressing shift):

A) For a mouse action:

If you want to use window coordinates (as in the case that will be explained below), first select the
window where the action will take place.

A.1- Point the cursor where you want it to do something from the macro, and then for the 1º step
press the key (or combination of 2 keys if preferred), which will later call the macro.

In this case it was pointed where the red arrow says, then the right shift was pressed, and there
the "Cursor location" window appears so that you can add more details about this step in the
macro.

If not for the 1st step of the macro, you must always press Enter ater aiming.

A.2- Specify more in the new window:

The right shift is a very common key and the macro should only work on the Task Manager,
therefore, this window title or "Manager&&Chrome" should be entered where the 1 st blue arrow
says for the macro to run only on that window, or in the second case to be run only on windows
containing "Manager" and "Chrome" on its title. Alternatively for other cases || can be used as an
OR operator and ! as a NO. This option is case sensitive!

Furthermore, this window can vary in size, but the distance of the button to the lower right corner
does not. Then you must select options targeted with blue "Window from bottom" and "Window
from right" to ensure that it always points to the button you want (this change will automatically
update the coordinate fields, so that they are according to the new chosen coordinates system).
A.3- Decide whether to add another step (“To next step”) or if the macro should end (“Finish
macro”). In this case another step will be added.

B) For a keyboard action:

If this were the 1st step of the macro, then click where the red arrow below says (that button
appeared yellow at first), select the field in the red box, and press the key (or combination of 2
keys if preferred), which will later call the macro.

B.1- After clicking the button indicated by the red arrow, click the “Send keys” button or focus the
field below it and then press the key or keys the macro should send. In this case, that will be the
Tab key.

Alternatively you can also click “Paste something” to then, write a text you want to be pasted, or
by pressing Ctrl + D copy the contents of the clipboard for the macro to paste it.

B.2– Specify more:

In this case, you must set a time in milliseconds to wait after the previous step, and before
this one, for example 200 (where the lower blue arrow says on the image above).

B.3- Decide whether to add another step (“To next step”) or if the macro should end
(“Finish macro”). In this case, the macro will be ended.

To edit an existing macro:

5- Click where the red arrow on the right says and select the macro by key and number of
steps on the indicated dropdown (all according to the image below).

6- Then select the step you want to modify and change what you want to edit (note that
there are options that weren’t available when it was created; as the option to repeat n
times the actions of that step or even including some of the steps that go after that one)
If that is a step with a keyboard action, it will look like in the next image:
7- Confirm editing by selecting another step or simply closing the edit menu. On the other
hand, the changes could be canceled by pressing the button under the comment field.

To enable and run macros; or to disable them instead:

8- Clicking the green button (indicated in the image below), macros will be enabled and
they will run with each keystroke of the assigned key for that macro.
9- To disable the macros simply click again the same button that then it will have become already
red .

Observations:

1- When another key is already pressed when you press the key assigned to any macro,
that macro wont start.

2- Some applications (Notepad ++ for instance), can’t accept the actions done by the
macros unless EasyClicks Macros is executed as administrator. This can be done by right-
clicking on the .exe of the program and selecting the "Run as administrator" option.

3- The option on the upper right corner of the + button allows you to cancel or finish recording a
macro. This option can be seen as a red cross below:

4- To make selections with shift from macros use ”Shift” instead of ”Left_Shift” or
”Right_Shift”, otherwise Num Lock should be off

Other possibilities and functions:

In "Sleeptime (ms)" when specifying only "-", the step will run not after a while but the next time
the assigned key is pressed. Another option would be to determine the time in hh:mm and hh
from 00 to 23 so that after pressing the key, the macro runs when you reach that time on the day.

In "To all", and if selected, the window restriction applied to that step will become the only one
and will apply to all macros and steps. When deselected, the restrictions for each step will apply
again.

If "Not even move" is selected, the step wouldn’t really have a mouse action and could do only as
specified in the options below it ("Sleeptime" and "Window restrain" would still be valid anyway).

If "Just move" is selected, the cursor will only move to the determined coordinates without going
back and without doing any click; but then if some sort of click is selected, this option will change
to "Move", allowing the cursor to stay in the position of that click. In that step only after
deselecting "Move", this option will be "Just move" again.

If "Relative coordinates" is selected with x horizontally or with y vertically, the cursor will take the
coordinates with x and/or with y, as the distance to move from its initial position.

If "Window coordinates" is selected with x horizontally or with y vertically, the coordinates will be
taken with x and/or with y, as the distance from the position of the upper left corner of the
window that has focus, so that the cursor can go there.

If "Proportionate to height" is selected, the distance from the top of the window that has focus
will be measured in relation to its height, so that the cursor can go there (vertically).
If "Proportionate to width" is selected, the distance from the left of the window that has focus will
be measured in relation to its width, so that the cursor can go there (horizontally).

As seen in the example above, "Window from bottom" and "Window from right" will do the
opposite of "Coords in window" on y and "Coords in window" in x.

If a document, file, or program is specified at "Execute a program or shortcut" clicking "Choose to

open", this will open it after the main actions of that step had been executed.

At "Execute other steps" if, as an example 1.4,2.2 is specified there, then after this step, the 4 th
step of the 1st macro will be executed, then the 2 nd step of the 2nd macro, and finally the original
macro will continue if It has something to go on; if you specify 3 instead, then after this step, if a
3rd macro exists, that complete macro will be executed, and then the original macro will continue if
It has something to go on (the order of the macros and steps matches with the numbers they have
on the drop-down menus). The latter type of action will not run the specified steps to its right, i.e.
1.4,2.2,3,2.1 will continue with the original macro after running the 3 rd the macro, and won’t run
the 1st step of the 2nd macro. On the other hand, it should be noted that for example, you can’t run
the 3rd macro from the 3rd macro.

In "Repetitions" you can specify how many times you want to repeat a step or a set of steps. For
this, at the first text field to the right you should specify the number of additional times that the
step or steps should be executed; at the second field you can specify the time in milliseconds
between each repetition; and at the last text field the number of steps to be repeated, that if not
greater than 1 will only repeat the current step, and if 3 as an example, will include the following
two steps in the repetition (if they exist and do not have "-" specified as Sleeptime).

When using the above function, you should have already defined a key at "To pause, resume
sequences" from the options menu, which is accessed from the gray button with 3 white lines.
Thus, pressing that key may abort the execution of repetitions or other kind of macros if
necessary. After this, that key must be pressed again to rehabilitate the macros.

Selecting "Don’t block key" and only from the 1st step will prevent the key from being blocked
when calling the macro, or in other words, will allow that key to perform its original function
before calling the macro.

By selecting "As previous macro" that step will ignore any other specification and will only repeat
the last macro previously executed (if there were any).

By selecting "Disable step" you can disable a macro if that step is the 1 st, or just 1 step if it’s not.
This way you will be able to stop using macros without having to erase them, and then start using
them again just by deselecting that option.

At "Comments" some comments for the step can be written.

Finally, if you want a macro to send any key that it’s not on your keyboard or for some reason it’s
not working, by clicking on "Paste something" and editing so that the name of that key is
presented as +name (by deleting the ' and adding the name), this may be achieved. For this, then
the list of most important available keys for this function is as follows (names between quotation
marks):
