  1. I experienced the same issue as the original poster when using shortkeys. In most instances, I had the most trouble with Macro Express sending the suffix key, causing some unwanted effects in the program the Macro was working in. I could have unchecked send suffix key in the shortkey options, but I had set up substitutions for spelling errors (If I typed recieve it will replace with receive) and there was no option to set this option on a per macro basis. What I ended up doing was using the F12 button as a prompt field and setting variables that if the prompt field contained certain text, to perform the macro. Although it causes an extra step, it works very well, with an added bonus of being able to set strings for search text without another prompt field (in the applicable text the macro would delete everything in the variable string prior to a space and send that to the search query). I still use shortkeys in a few instances when I know that the suffix will not affect the macro, but the F12 prompt seems to have been the ticket for me. Plus, a prompt field has the added bonus of being able to make sure you are spelling the text correctly, instead of a shortkey going into "empty space". Hope this helps, or at least sparks something for other possible Macro Express uses.
