Which macros are you using? Looking for examples

General

I’m curious what other people are using for macros.

I normally work with tools such as IntelliJ/Rider, nvim/emacs, both on Linux (w/ sway) and on Windows.

What are your favorite macros?

Please see the “configuration question” category of this forum. There, you’ll find numerous use cases.

I find the mouse jiggler macro very amusing.

Double-tap and Triple-tap macros can be useful in games.

Unfortunately, I don’t know of macros that fit your use case, but hopefully, the above will give you some ideas.

Hey, so it’s a bit late for a reply, but I’ve been using macros for the following (mostly programming related)

  • repetitive character groupings, like the “fat arrow” in Javascript => or the query syntax for jQuery $('search term'). It will write these out and then move the cursor to the right place.
  • repetitive edits ex. commenting out every other line (niche, but i had to do this) write '// ', DOWN_ARROW, DOWN_ARROW, HOME
  • typing in a development password that will not be used in the released product
  • click 10x fast to flood Google meet with emoji, have to get the delay right between clicks right

This video covers some useful scripting, too. I have employed most of what is shown here. One of the scripts has an error, I can’t remember which one, but it is mostly right. Just remember that if it doesn’t work, you might be trying this one buggy one. And that one is mostly right, just needs a small change to get working…

Edit: I should add that I didn’t even realize I could write scripts for my UHK 60 v1 until I stumbled on this gem.
