Guides

Keysmith was designed from the ground up to be as simple and easy to use as possible.

The trade-off we've made in keeping things simple is that the most obvious way to do something isn't always the fastest or most powerful way to do it.

You don’t need any of the information here to use Keysmith successfully, but if you’re the kind of person who enjoys reading manuals and getting the most out of your tools, you’re in the right place.

Note: you can edit any of the global hotkeys mentioned below in Keysmith’s Preferences.

Creating and Running Macros
Repeating Macros

You can repeat any Keysmith macro a fixed number of times. This is one of Keysmith's most powerful features, especially when combined with the ability to quickly create Scratch macros.

Repeating a macro

There are four ways to repeat a macro:

  1. Select the macro in Keysmith and click "Repeat Macro..." in the "More" menu.
  2. Select the macro in Keysmith and ⌥Click the Run button.
  3. Select the macro in the Quick Launcher and hit ⌥Return.
  4. After recording a Scratch macro, use the global hotkey to "Repeat Last Recorded Macro", which is bound to ⇧⌥⌘Return by default.

In each case you'll be prompted for the number of times to run the macro. Either type in a number, or use the arrow keys or ^N/^P to adjust the number. Then hit Return to run.
