NOTE: At the present time, Keystroke Macros are not implemented for the GUI Client.
As you become a more experienced APPX system administrator, you may find that as System Administrator, you often perform the same tasks that require the same sequence of keystrokes every time you need to perform them. With APPX’s Keystroke Macro feature, you can “program” these keystrokes into an option number you select then execute the series of keystrokes anytime just by selecting the option you defined. APPX “remembers” this option and the macro associated with it so it is available for use every time you log in.
To define a macro, begin by pressing the Ctrl and R keys simultaneously (the R stands for remember). When you see a message at the bottom of your screen that tells you to Define Option, select the option number you want to assign to the series of keystrokes that you will program into the macro. To assign option 77 to the macro, for example, you’ll press Option, Option, 7, 7.
After assigning an option number to the macro, a new message will tell you to Define Macro. Now you simply execute your task and APPX will record all of the keystrokes you make. When you are finished (your report, input, or other task is complete), press the Ctrl and R keys again to let APPX know your key sequence is complete. Then any time you want to execute those same keystrokes, just select Option 77 and the keystrokes will be played back.
