Each Multi Key Macro stores its own timing settings; you may use
both timed and untimed Multi Key Macros in the same program.
Ergodex Manager allows you to edit the precise timing
characteristics of every Multi Key Macro. A graphical interface allows
you to edit the timing between every key press event in your Macro.
The timing option you use with your Multi Key Macros depends on
your particular application. For simple key commands in applications
that do not place large demands on your computer, it is usually best
to use untimed Macros. For example, if you wanted to create a
simple Cut (Ctrl + X) or Paste (Ctrl +V) Macro to use in a word
processor, it is usually acceptable to turn the timing option off to get
the fastest response. However, if you wanted to create a complex
sequence of key commands that required opening multiple option
windows in the same word processor, it might be necessary to create
a Macro with the timing option enabled. Often there is a small delay
between when a program receives a command and when it is able to
respond. If you chain a bunch of commands together you might
overrun the ability of your program to keep up. In these cases, you
may find that adding a small time delay (30 to 100 ms) between key
events allows the program you are using to process the Macro while
still keeping the overall playback time reasonably short. You might
need to experiment with the exact timing that works on your
particular computer/program combination.
We have found that most modern computer games require that you
use at least a small time delay (~30 ms) between key events in your
Macros. This is due to the way that games process key information
under Windows®. If you attempt to play an untimed Multi Key Macro
in a game, Ergodex Manager plays the sequence so quickly that the
game might miss some of the keystroke events, causing unexpected
behavior. The easiest way to create fast executing Macros for
games is to record them with timing, then edit the Macro to reduce
(but not eliminate) the time between key presses. See the section
on editing Macros for more information.
Multi Key Macros offer an advanced feature that lets you play one
key sequence when your press a DX1 Key and a second key
sequence when you release the same DX1 Key. This Press/Release
option allows you to fine tune the playback of your Multi Key Macro.

option allows you to fine tune the playback of your Multi Key Macro.
The option is particularly useful in games. For example, you might
create a Macro that switches to binoculars and zooms in when you
press a DX1 Key, and then zooms out and switches back to a
weapon when you release the Key.

Text Block Macros
Text Block Macros allow you to insert text information into a
document with a single DX1 Key press. For example, you could use
a Text Block Macro to insert your name and address into a word
processing document, an email program, or a web page. The
assigned text can be as short as a single word or many pages long.
There is no timing associated with the playback of text block Macros;
the text is inserted almost instantly at the current text cursor location.

Program/File/URL Launch Macros
Program/File/URL Launch Macros allow you to open or launch your
favorite programs, files or web site by pressing a DX1 Key. You can
direct the Macro to open any specific file or program on your
computer, or a website that you want to visit. If you provide an
Internet address (the URL), Ergodex Manager will automatically
open your default web browser and navigate to the specified web
site.

Categories
You will most likely create many different Macros for each of the
programs you use often. Categories allow you to organize your
Macros for a particular program within Ergodex Manager. You can
use Categories to group similar Macros together. You can think of a
Category as a folder to hold similar Macros. Example Categories
might include: File, Tools, Weapons, Functions, Play, Actions, and
Recorded Macros. You may create or remove a Category in
Ergodex Manager at any time, and Categories can be empty.
If you record Macros from within your programs, Ergodex Manager
will automatically add the Macro to either a Recorded Single Keys or
Recorded Macros Category. You may move a recorded Macro to a
different Category at any time.
