I can see that there is the ability to assign a keyboard macro to a key combination but I see no way to create such a macro. Am I missing something?

I never implemented the macro creation ability. The code editor (CodeMax) allowed the building of macros. I never did build it into FireFly (or JellyFish or that matter).

Any plans of implement it in the future? I find myself typing the same codes over and over and it would be nice to have a keyboard macro to simplify the typing.

TechSupport

No plans for the keyboard macro thing because I no longer use CodeMax as the code editor.

However, in FireFly 3 there is a much more powerful feature where you can define snippets of code and input them directly into the editor by type a word and pressing Ctrl+Enter.

For example,

Type "dash" and press Ctrl+Enter and the word "dash" changes to:

'-----------------------------------------------------

The concept is pretty powerful and you'll love it when you see it.
