24.3.5 Deleting Keystroke Macros
To delete a keystroke macro:
1. Macro [ 1 ] Delete: deletes Macro 1.
2. Click OK.
Or, from the macro directory:
1. Press and hold De lete whilst selecting the macro to be deleted from the Macro
Directory window.
2. Click OK.
Tip: For advanced Macro control, you may wish to delete either of the first two default steps
of a macro. The first step is a recall view and the second step clears the command line.
Tip: If you prefer not to be asked to confirm the delete action, select Don't Ask Me Again in
the confirmation window. You can re-enable the confirmation by going to Macro →
Preferences → Programming and selecting Confirm before deleting directory items.
24.3.6 Copying and Moving Keystroke Macros
To make a copy of a macro in a new location:
1. Open + Macro: open the Macro Directory.
2. Check that the G ua rd button is depressed so you do not accidentally apply macros
when trying to select them.
3. Select the macro that you want to copy by pressing its button in the directory.
4. Press and hold the Copy key.
5. Press the button of the location in the directory you want to copy the macro to.
Or, using the command line:
Macro 2 Co py Macro 3 Enter: copies the contents of Macro 2 to Macro 3.
Similarly, to move a macro to a new location:
Macro 2 Move Macr o 3 Enter: moves the contents of Macro 2 to Macro 3 leaving 2
empty. If the destination macro already exists, you will be asked to choose an option:
Insert, Merge or Replace.
Insert, Add Steps, and Replace
When recording or copying a macro, if the destination location already has a macro recorded
in it, you will be prompted with record options of Insert, Add Steps, or Replace. If you are
moving a macro, only the Insert option is available.
Insert: creates a new destination for the macro. The new macro will be assigned a free
location just before the one chosen, using a point number if necessary.
Add Steps: adds the macro steps from the source macro into the destination macro. All new
information is appended to the end of the current macro steps.
Replace: overwrites the macro information in that destination.
Tip: If you know that you are about to record, copy or move a macro to an existing
destination, you can pre-select Insert, Merge or Replace from the Record Options Toolbar.
This appears after you press the Record, Copy or Move keys.
