Workshop on Macro Express in Toronto, June 2019

[acantor]

(In addition to Macro Express, I will discuss AutoHotkey and VBA. But about half the session will focus on Macro Express Pro.)

Macro Express, AutoHotkey and VBA: an Introduction to Software Shortcuts

During this 90-minute demonstration, discover ways to modify the behaviour of keyboards, mice, and applications to better fit the physical, cognitive, and learning needs of users with disabilities. Creating macros and implementing automation features are indispensable skills for assistive technologists who provide computer access solutions. Topics:

• Macro Express, AutoHotkey, and VBA basics.
• Keyboard remapping, e.g., add a "Tab" key to the right side of the keyboard, or "Backspace" to the left side.
• Change the behaviour of mice (and other pointing devices).
• Create shortcuts to automate repetitive tasks that are activated automatically, or by clicking, typing, or pressing key combinations.

Host: RESNA Conference (part of RehabWeek 2019), Toronto. 24 - 28 June 2019. Details about when and where to be announced.
