Macros

It's possible to configure keyboard/mouse/joystick macros: a key or button press can trigger a series of keyboard/mouse/joystick events, with timing conditions.

Macro directory

Macros have to be defined in files saved into:

• Ubuntu: the ~/.emuclient/macros directory. ~ is the home directory, and .emuclient folder is hidden (in the file manager, press ctrl+h to display hidden folders).
• Windows 32bits: the C:\Program Files\GIMX\macros directory.
• Windows 64bits: the C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMX\macros directory.

Syntax

MACRO <DEVICE EVENT> <ID>
<DEVICE EVENT> <ID>
DELAY <MS>
#<COMMENT>

<DEVICE EVENT>: KEYDOWN, KEYUP, MBUTTONDOWN, MBUTTONUP, JBUTTONDOWN, JBUTTONUP
<ID>: the event id (case sensitive) as displayed in gimx-config
<MS>: integer value in milliseconds
<COMMENT>: a comment, not interpreted

Commands

• KEYDOWN: keyboard key pressed
• KEYUP: keyboard key released
• KEY: KEYDOWN + DELAY 50 + KEYUP

• MBUTTONDOWN: mouse button pressed
• MBUTTONUP: mouse button released

• JBUTTONDOWN: joystick button pressed
• JBUTTONUP: joystick button released

• DELAY: delay in milliseconds
