How about add hotkeys for 'move up' and 'move down'? So users can use these functions more quickly.

How about default Y variable to N2 for 'mouse move'? It would be more intuitve, especially since 'get mouse position' Y variable is already defaulted to N2.

what exactly does that do?

How about allowing users to set the 0-9 keys [above the alphabets] as single-press hotkeys? I know I can use the number pad as single-press hotkeys, but I prefer the 0-9 keys [above the alphabets] as single-press hotkeys since I don't use them much. I usually use the number pad for typing numbers instead. So can this be possible in a future version?

BTW: Allowing the 0-9 keys [above the alphabets] as single-press hotkeys is more convenient sometimes because they're right under the row of F keys. So it would allow 2 rows of single-press hotkeys conveniently placed next to each other.

has this been added in the latest version?

this been added to the latest version?

i dont use outlook, and for something like this having a start minimized or unfocussed text box would make it a lot easier for what i want to do in this case...so im just going ahead and request it. thanks for your help though.

but creating a text file means managing extra files and it becomes tedious for simple things like a reminder.

so there is no way to prevent a text box macro from stealing focus?

well displaying text box doesnt have to focus the text box to be of benefit. for a simple text message, such as one for a reminder, just having simple text box pop up with a short word on the taskbar will work. so in this case, it's preferrable for the text box to not interupt user activity and steal focus from another program.

for example, you have a scheduled text box to remind you of a tv show at 8pm. meanwhile, your writing an email or playing a game. and when that text box shows up, you don't want it to steal focus from your currect task--not even temporarily, as it will interupt your keystrokes, etc.

ok i see. but from the looks of it, it will switch back and forth between windows. so if i run a fullscreen program like a video player or game, this switching of window focus will still be a problem--it will interupt.

i think ME should have an option in the open text box to start it minimized or something.

ok thanks guys

so there is no ME command for this? i have to use the special code you made?

does this prevent the window from losing focus in the first place? or does it just switch back and forth between windows?

but where do i put the code?

but i use the scheduler to make text popups to remind me of things...which the windows scheduler doesnt do

You could simply use the Windows scheduler to start the macro you are using for your popups. But, in this case, there's no advantage to my suggestion!

how can i do that?

but jumping between to different programs for this is inconvenient

I have already tested this and scheduling a macro prevents my pc from standby--no need to argue that. Now back to the topic:

Is there a command to auto-disable a macro after running? If not, we'd like to see such a command added to prevent this problem.

but i dont see a function to 'get the title of the active window'

but i use the scheduler to make text popups to remind me of things...which the windows scheduler doesnt do

... after it finishes running it will disable it to prevent the scheduled macro from conflicting with my PC's standby

 

I think you'll find it's the other way round! When your machine is in standby, or hibernating, none of the macros you schedule using ME's scheduler will run.

 

However:

IF you use the Windows scheduler to fire off your ME macro,

AND assuming it's set to wake your machine,

AND your BIOS can handle this,

it's a different story.

but currently scheduling a macro prevents my pc from standby

Is there a way to display text box without it stealing window focus? How about display text box minimized?

so the standby conflict problem with scheduled macros only occurs between or before the scheduled time? so the standby conflict problem won't affect a scheduled macro that has no more future scheduled times?

ok then ill just post in both request form and forum to also see what other users have to say

How about adding a play/test button in the 'select wav file' window? So users can quickly test a lot of wav files in the same window--without having to switch to the previous window for the test button.

How about adding a command to auto-disable a macro after running? I want to use it for a scheduled macro, so after it finishes running it will disable it to prevent the scheduled macro from conflicting with my PC's standby, etc. Thanks.

so basically the only user items overwritten will be the config preferences--they will be reset with the 3.6 version?

how about making a feature request section in the forum like a lot of other programs. they you can check features and other users feedbacks in one place.
