Note: You can edit the keystrokes, for example to add new ones, add delays, delete entries, and add mouse events, in order to fine-tune the macro to be precisely what you need. To do so, see To edit a multi key macro. 13. Click OK. After recording a multi key macro, it is ready for you to assign to a G-key/button. See To assign a multi key macro for details.
