Global macros? #71

Closed TLCPlusPlus closed 2 years ago

TLCPlusPlus commented 6 years ago

I can see there is a program specific way to do this, but is there a way to do commands globally, like opening a program up?

My current workaround is having cmd.exe targeted to do all the bidding, and that is too much work.

Just getting to a specific directory (like firefox or chrome to open it up) I have to do Every. Single. Keystroke. The reason why I have to do this? Because if I do the paste feature, it just does ^V instead.

Some things require me to do -skip-uac flag because they will break the macro otherwise since it requires admin privs. (it breaks because of the popup dialogue)

(Simplified) Voiceattack let me do programs by using Lwin key, then typing out the program/command. This worked great because windows 10 store apps dont have a directory, but can be found this way.

Dont get me wrong. I love this program, but I have to use VoiceAttack (free version) in tandem with this app just for global commands since I dont like the idea of making a macro that ends up taking up a hour or more of my life to make 1 of, whereas I can do it in 5~ minutes.

Will a macro that can execute an arbitrary string work for your use case?

Example, as configuration it will take a cmd string such as "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (optionally with flags). Then trigger and exec as normal.
