FIGURE 12
As the simplest example, let’s briefly consider keyboard shortcuts before looking into some of the other
options.
Of course, many of the System Commands entries have default keystroke shortcuts pre-assigned. The first
shortcut assigned to a macro (some systems support multiple shortcuts) is displayed at right on the row,
near the Favorites star mentioned earlier.
5.1.1 KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
FIGURE 13
To set a new shortcut or replace an existing one, click a ‘gesture field’ in the Shortcuts group at the bottom
of the Macro Configuration panel. It will display a “Listening …” tag (Figure 13). Then press the desired
keystroke.
Hint: For clarity, lower-case characters are uniformly shown as upper-case. True upper-case letters are displayed
in the form [Shift + (character)].

By the way, assigning identical shortcut combinations to multiple macros is supported, and deliberately so.
Still, as you may wish to avoid conflicts, a yellow triangular gadget referred to as a ‘bang’ (or, if you are a
‘foodie’, a ‘nacho’) is shown in this case.
