Multiple keystrokes/Combined keystrokes
You are not limited to single keystrokes when programming commands. You can input as
many keys into one command as you like, or combined keys, such as Ctrl+F, for example. The
process is the same as inputting single keystrokes – just press the keys you wish to program
into the command. In the example below we have input a Ctrl+F command.
You can see that it is a combined keystroke because both letters are on the same ‘key’ and
there is a plus sign between them. Multiple, single keystrokes would appear like the line for
Fire B in this picture.
Macros
Having covered the basic types of keystroke, we need to introduce another type of keystroke
command – a macro. A macro is a sequence of keystrokes that can be executed with the
single press of a button. At first glance you might think that this is exactly the same as the
multiple keystrokes, as assigned to the Fire B button in the above example. However this is
not the case.
In order for the multiple keystrokes in the above example to actually happen you have to keep
the assigned button held down until all of the commands have happened. If the above
sequence had been assigned as a macro then you would just have to press the assigned
button once and the keystrokes would then input themselves automatically.
You need both types of command because a macro can’t be interrupted except by pressing
another command on the stick. A simple sequence of keystrokes, like the one in the above
example, can be interrupted by releasing the button. Depending on the in-game situation, this
could be important.
Creating a macro is similar to creating a keystroke sequence but to access it we have to use
the right mouse button. In the example below we have pointed to the Fire C line with the
mouse and clicked the right mouse button (right-click).
