Macros Topic is solved

[andy.jackman]

Dear AS

New user here. I love the software and have switched all my tasks over. I wish I'd found it sooner, you have an ongoing donation subscriber, thank you.

To the Community:

I would like to make macro keyboard shortcuts that do at least 2 things with 1 shortcut.

Particularly: switch to Tree View and show all tasks & switch to list view and filter tasks to an attribute

• Is this possible?

• Can someone point me in the right direction if so?

Thanks, A

Hi @andy.jackman

There's no macro language per-se but User-Defined-Tools (UDTs) can themselves reference any one (or more) of the 200+ menu commands.

You can also create UDTs that reference specific attributes of the currently selected task/tasklist by clicking the 'drop button' to the right of the 'Arguments' field in the UDT preferences.

Many thanks.

Thank you

Where is the best place to learn how to make UDTs, I am not a coder and it is not obvious to me what to do, but I can learn.

Try this and this for starters, and ask as many questions as you need.

And if any parts of the process seem unnecessarily hard to you (as a non-coder) please let me know - there's always room for improvement.

Thank you, I'll do my best!
