Isn’t it boring to do the same task over and over again on your computer? Have you ever wished for a magic wand that does it without you having to break a sweat? Don’t worry! Keyboard macros for windows are here for your rescue.
Microsoft defines macros as sequences of events (such as keystrokes, mouse clicks, and delays) that can be played back to help with repetitive tasks. So yeah, that’s what we are going to deal with in this article.
You can assign a shortcut key without downloading third-party applications to launch a program. If you want to carry out activities like more than one keystroke and mouse click, you will have to seek the help of a macro recorder for Windows.
In this segment, we are going to assign a set of keystrokes to launch an app. Just follow the steps here for that. Creating keyboard macros in Windows 11 and 10 involves similar steps.
There you go. Whenever you hit Ctrl+ Alt+ (your chosen key), the app will open.
Before venturing into third-party apps, you had better try Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. It’s a tool to help you work with macros.
That’s it. You should fiddle with the program to get a grip on it. Let’s just show you another Windows macro recorder.
Here, we are going to give you a step-by-step tutorial on macro creation using Pulover’s Macro Creator. You can go for any third-party app. We just chose this one because we’ve had successful past experiences.
The software has a ton of useful features. You don’t have to jump into using all of them in a hush. Once you are used to the program, you can try out different configurations. Here, we are going to show you how to record a macro and use the same in the future.
There you go! You can press the playback hotkey (default is F3) to see your macro in action. Don’t forget to save the macro. Whenever you want to do this specific task, just open the saved macro.
Keyboard macros are of two types; hardware and software. Hardware macros are a set of keys, which when pressed, do a task or a sequence of tasks. On the other hand, software macros are created with the help of a third-party app to perform a process that involves keystrokes and delays.
Is there a default Windows 10 macro recorder?No, there isn’t! Windows 10 doesn’t come with a default macro recorder. They have a Mouse and Keyboard Center. You have to download that too.
Does Windows 10 have a macro recorder?No, but Microsoft has one. You can download the setup file from the official site. For most simple macros, that’s enough.
How do I enable macros in Windows 11?Right-click on the application shortcut. Choose Properties and go to the Shortcuts tab. Enter a key beside the Shortcuts key. That’s it. When you press Ctrl+ Alt+ the key you just entered, your preferred app will open.
You have got everything you wanted, haven’t you? Keyboard macros on Windows 10 and 11 are easy to create. Whether you use a third-party program or not depends on the facilities you need. For a process that involves keystrokes, mouse clicks, and delays, we recommend you go with a third-party piece of software.
