Creating Keyboard Shortcut for Macro

[JogG95]

Hi,

I’m using Windows 10 and Audacity Version 3.13 64bit. I’ve made several Macros and wanted to run certain ones with a Keyboard short cut key.

I read over manual and several posts, but I can’t find anything on how to do it. I was able to create a Keyboard short cut to call up the Marco window, but I haven’t been able to create a Keyboard short cut to run individual macros.

Does anyone know where I could find some info about this?

So once you create your macro, then Edit > Preferences > Keyboard > Keybindings: View By > Name > Apply Macro > (your special macro) > Tab > (press your special keystroke now!) > Set > OK

Tried it works great!

Thanks.

I created an account just to say thank you so much for this, over the years I’ve accumulated ever increasing in complexity macros and now to be able to just use a key to execute it makes it almost feel like cheating.

You are welcome.

Ubuntu 24.04, Audacity 3.4.2. The named macros are not in the list. Was that removed? Can I find it somewhere else now?

Sorry. I don’t use Ubuntu or Linux with Audacity, so I can’t help you with this question.
