Edit macro
Macro type:
The key that you press to invoke this macro.
Send:
What to send. This gets sent through the command processor, so it can consist of aliases, speedwalks or script commands.
Send action
What to do with the send text when you press the macro key.
Replace
The entire contents of the command window is replaced by the macro.
Send Now
The macro is immediately acted upon, however the command window contents are not changed.
Insert
The macro contents is inserted into the command window. You can then edit it if you wish.
Hint
To do more elaborate things (like expanding variables, running scripts) enter a nonsense word in the "send" box, and then make an alias to "catch" that word, and do the extra processing in the alias. One way of doing this is to use the Edit -> Generate Unique ID menu item to generate a unique word, like this:
381e051a828fb201b6914699
This is unlikely to be something you would normally want to type into the MUD. Then make an alias to match on "381e051a828fb201b6914699" (or whatever word you choose) and make the alias do things like expand variables, call scripts, etc.
