Before I start - Ive never used a stand alone macro recorder.. and the macros Ive used in the past have always been part of another program eg Excel or a graphics prog such as photoshop.
Looking at Powerpro though its a nice handy little app which Ive actually grabbed myself for future exploration when I get time.
>> a macrco can record input from keyboard or mouse actions so it's basically a script really, so can that be assigned to a spacific key
Yes sorta.. but you have to remember that the program that controls the macros has to be running at the same time, since it is the program that actually controls the assignment to perform the action.
You then have to assign a "shortcut" for the macro... which could perhaps be a shortcut within the prog or a shortcut from your desktop or a keycombo.
Unfort I dont have time to explore powerpro right now so I dont know if it fully can, but short of someone specifically writing a program for what youre trying to do, its possibly about the best thing to look at
