I'm just evaluating Macro Express as the natural add on after ShortKeys (the application). One feature of SK that I love is the ease of adding a new shortkey, and am trying to create a macro patterned after that. In essence, what I am trying to accomplish is
Trigger: Ctrl Up Arrow
Cut the selected text
Open the Macro Express Editor
Wait for the window Macro Express - to open
Execute the menu commands to create a new macro <ALT>ma
Select Short Key as the type, and wait for the name to be entered
...
Where I am running into problems is in the simplest point of executing the <alt>ma to create a new macro. No matter what I do, I get the system beep, which I'm gathering means I have a timing problem. Thoughts? Seems executing a menu should not be this hard
