Record, then play back
F6 starts and stops recording, F7 starts and stops playback. Esc stops a playback in progress. The shortcuts can be changed in the settings.
MacroTool
MacroTool records the clicks, keystrokes and, optionally, mouse movements made in other windows. The resulting macro is a list of editable actions, played back with the F7 key.

Request recorded. Thank you.
An editable list of actions
Each action shows its delay and its press duration. An action can be edited, moved or deleted. Others can be added by hand: key, click, mouse wheel or text to type.
Repetitions and speed
A macro plays a fixed number of times or endlessly, with a pause between rounds. Speed ranges from ×0.25 to ×10. The "Short presses" setting brings every press down to 15 ms.
