Should work fine across Windows, Mac, linux
Requirements python3-tk (Linux / Mac) python3-tkinter (Windows) pyautogui (pip3 install pyutogui)
Each Button on the keypad has a corresponding macroN function, eg Button "1" maps to "macro1" and so on. Edit the nine corresponding functions using python code and pyautogui functions to acheive complex, time saving macros.
Unless to program in all of the hotkeys and shortcuts required for all of the steps to open up a program and focus on a text field or cell or do what you need to do correctly, you cant just press a button and sit back, you will have 5 seconds to put the mouse pointer / cursor where it needs to be and cick, hence the 5 second delay before the macro starts.
If you mis-time an action, it is possible that undefined behaviour can occur when running macros, including data loss.
If the macro isnt too long you can usually back out changes to files with CTRL+z, providing the file hasnt been saved /closed as part of the macro.
I would recommend taking a backup of the file before running a macro againast it, eg a spreadsheet or document.
I am not going to be held liable for your mistakes in programming your macros or your use of this program.
