Add Action...Eventghost/Autorepeat current macro

I haven't tried it myself, but it should work.

Thanks for your reply but I have that in the macro already but it doesn't work. Have I done something wrong?

Sorry, didn't see that. I don't know why Autorepeat isn't working, but it appears that others have reported the problem. Unless someone knows how to get Autorepeat to work, another option would be to generate your triggering event as the last item in the macro. In your example, Add Action...Eventghost/Trigger Event and enter "Keyboard.Ctrl+Numpad1". That worked when I tested it.

Thanks again for your reply. I actually tried Eventghost/Trigger Event and enter "Keyboard.Ctrl+Numpad1" and it worked. Thank you very much.

Another problem I found is that Action/Eventghost/Jump doesn't seem to work either.

Is their a way to stop a repeating macro when I need to other than closing Eventghost?

Cheers

I ended up just using an Event to Disable the Folder the Macros are in.

I don't have any problems with the Jump action. Make sure you set the "If:" setting to what you want; "Always" if you want the jump to always occur regardless of the success of the previous action.
