Do you have an editing task that perform over and over again,
like pasting the URL of a photo into your blog and surrounding it with style
tags? PTFB Pro can collapse all those operations into a simple hotkey sequence.
How to do it ...
- Open up PTFB Pro's main window by clicking on its tray
icon
- Click on "New Macro..." and choose "Screen Macro"
- The macro starts recording immediately, so perform the
editing operations you want to automate. For example, type the
opening tags to apply the styles for the embedded material, then
type CTRL+V to paste the contents of the clipboard, then type the
closing tags and hit the Pause/Break key to stop macro recording.
- Double-click on your new macro in PTFB Pro's main window
to open it for editing. Switch to the Triggers page and untick "Trigger
Spontaneously". Now tick "Hotkey" and choose the
key sequence you want to use to run the macro. Pick something that's
easy to remember that doesn't get used for anything else. How about
CTRL + SHIFT + I (I for insert)?
