Macros and templates

A sequence of keystrokes assigned to a button is called a macro. A set of macros is stored in a file called a template. You can create as many templates as you like: one for each presentation software application, for example.

The first time you launch LP Remote Programmer, it opens the default template. In the illustration on the previous page, a template named REMOTDEF.TPT is opened.

Programming a button

There are two ways to assign a macro to a button: you can record it or type it. Recording keystrokes is usually preferable. However, if the macro includes control keys (CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, etc.), you should type the characters and codes in the text box.

To record a macro:

1.Click the button you want to program. (You can also press Enter on an IBM-compatible computer or Select on a Macintosh to select a button to program.)

•The text box at the top of the window displays the keystrokes that are already assigned to the button.

2.Click the Record button to start recording. (You can also press the Scroll Lock key on an IBM-compatible computer to start record- ing.)

3.Type the keystrokes you want to assign to the button, up to 32 keystrokes.

•If you are using an IBM-compatible computer and the keystroke sequence includes the Scroll Lock key, click the Record button to stop recording, type [SC] (including the brackets), then click Record to start recording again.

4.Click “OK” to stop recording.

5.Repeat steps 1-4 for the other buttons.

6.Save the template by choosing “Save” from the File menu.
