quickMacro - a simple and fast macro program

quickMacro -r|-p [-l] file

Record or play macros to or from file

-r, --record

Wait for QUITKEY to be pressed and then start recording until QUITKEY is pressed again. The time of the first QUITKEY press is the zero time offset for the macro.

-p, --play

Play back the macro by sending all events as XTEST requests.

-l, --loop

Play the macro until QUITKEY is pressed.

Each event takes up 32 bytes in the macro file. Mouse events occur at a high frequency and thus can quickly take up a lot of space.

quickMacro may take a while to stop after QUITKEY is pressed

The time between each loop of the macro is the time between starting recording and the first event recorded.

quickMacro can be customized by editing QUITKEY under /\* config \*/ near the top of the source, and recompiling.

QUITKEY is the keycode of the key that starts and ends macro recording. It is set to the US right super key by default.
