Hi Arnaud, I believe Paul mentioned in another post, but I would recommend AutoHotkey for this. While I think it is possible with a plug-in, it would take a lot more work. I estimate with a plug-in you would need around thousand lines of code while with AutoHotKey you could do it in just a couple.

Hi Evzen, 
 
In some ways I agree with you as Autohotkey is a great tool which can be as simple, or as complex as you like. However, I would like to see some simple macro tools in Studio that could simplify common things such as stringing together commands in Studio or windows commands and cursor movements. I looked at this once with one of the API developers and of course this could be done. But it isn't a simple task to build the features as part of the product as you pointed out, so the idea sits lower down our list of things to do than many other things at the moment. But I would like to see something like this.
