Syntax: Record [0|1]
Abbreviation: Rec
sets the recording state flag. When this flag becomes true,
ne
starts recording your actions in a new macro. When it becomes
false, the macro recording is stopped, and the macro can be played
or saved via Play, or SaveMacro.
If you call invoke Record
with no arguments, it will toggle the flag. If you
specify 0 or 1, the flag will be set to false or true, respectively. An upper case
‘R’ will appear on the status bar if the flag is true.
The reason for providing a flag instead of an explicit start/stop
recording command pair is that this way it is possible to bind both
starting and stopping macro recording to a single key while still being
able to specify “absolute” menu items (by using Record 0
and
Record 1
). For instance, the default key binding for
<Control>-T is simply Record
, which means that this
shortcut can be used both for initiating and for terminating a macro
recording.
