Hello. I really like Macro Scheduler.
Started using it in games. Faced a problem. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to execute a macro (for example, alt + R). But you can't just R. This moment is very unpleasant and forces you to use another program in which the Macro Scheduler key combination is assigned to one key.
Can you add, please, the ability to set ONE key to run a macro.
Also add any keys there (Mouse click, special keys, for example enter, shift, esc).
One key to run a macro

Re: One key to run a macro
This is already possible, but be aware if you assign R as a hotkey, your script will activate while you're typing.
In the Hot Key tab :
Instead of checking "Assign the Following Windows Hotkey to this Macro", Check "Type a HotKey"
Enter a letter into the box to the right.
Save your macro.
Then get used to thinking of alternatives to words that have an R in them.

Re: One key to run a macro
Hello
Does not work.
I attached a video from YouTube, where I recorded what was happening.
https://youtu.be/UA327ktfDI0
When I enter the keys F2, F3 and so on, they are entered as expected.
But when I try to enter an alphabetic or number key, the ALT adds automatically.
Help me please
Updated!
Maybe this information will be useful to someone.
The program was installed in the C: \ Program Files (x86) folder.
I reinstalled just to C: \
After that, I ran the script and tried to assign the R key and ... it worked!
I don’t know if it’s connected with this, but it seems that I became a little happier.
There are still two points left.
1. Please add the ability to activate the macro with Mouse Clicks, Esc, Shift and others.
2. Please add the ability to activate the macro by long pressing a key, with the ability to select the time (how long this key to hold down).
I'd like to use only one program in these tasks and give preference to Macro Scheduler.

Re: One key to run a macro
I frequently use my mouse to fire scripts. I have a mouse with extra programmable buttons, and assign those to macro shortcuts. So button 1 on the side presses Ctrl alt F to fire a macro, button 2 is Ctrl alt g, and so on. This way I don't have to remember all the shortcuts and don't have to move my hand away from the mouse. The mouse has the ability to reprogam all buttons and has multiple profiles, so I am sure if I wanted to I could even make lclick fire something up.
