It is useful for Using a second USB keyboard for macros.

• You’ll definitely want to see key remapping.lua which is a complete tutorial.

  • It doesn’t seem to issue keystrokes properly. I did a fair amount of troubleshooting to no success. It can detect keystrokes internally but doesn’t issue them into a program when I tab out of the LuaMacros window.

I don’t know how to learn its version. There are no releases in github, and there is no changelog on its website. The code references “lazarus 1.8.4”, and _VERSION is “5.2”.

• I can’t alt-tab to it. It’s in the taskbar, but not visible when I pull up the list of programs with that hotkey.

  • It is visible with windows-tab.

auto-running a script ∞

The -r parameter will run a script, so making a shortcut like this will automatically run the script when the shortcut is launched:

"C:\path\LuaMacros.exe" "C:\path\script.lua" -r

Edit: I just forked the project and updated the documentation.
