UMA lets you create a macro from within any application by first pressing (CTRL)-(ALT)-M. A menu bar at the top of the screen is displayed. Pressing R for record starts the process whereby UMA "memorizes" the keystrokes you enter. First, you are prompted to enter the hotkey by which you would like the macro activated. You are returned to the application you were originally in and the recording of keystrokes begins.
Enter the keystrokes you want memorized. You can enter a sequence of commands or text. Press (CTRL)-(ALT)-M at any time to pause the recording process. From pause you can restart recording, or stop it completely. Additional functions from the main menu include Clear, Load, and Save.
To play back your macro, press the hotkey(s) you assigned to it. Each keystroke or command you entered will be carried out (starting at your current cursor position).
