Vijik,

Works great! You're the best!

I noticed one other difference and I have one more question, if you don't mind. In the other version I just had, shortcuts could only be in capital letters. Can I now make shortcuts using numbers, symbols, and lowercase letters? Does a shortcut "abc" differ from a shortcut "ABC"?

[Suprah]

Thanks.

Anyone want to take the challenge and make macro for doing this?
(if so, let me know if you see some macros are missing to achieve that task. I can then (if it's possible) add extra macros).

Ill work on a macro for that

Have u upped the latest build?

No, shortcuts can still only be letters.

Even if you enter "abc", ShortcutMe will turn it into uppercase ("ABC") when you save the shortcut.

Yes, I PM'ed you last night.

Here's something I created with Camera and macros: allows you to take snap shots in under 30 seconds:

--Display Name: 3x Autosnap Camera

--AppName: Camera

--macros: Delay1500;CONVRKey;Delay1500;CONVRKey;Delay2000;CO NVRKey;Delay1500;CONVRKey;Delay1500;CONVRKey;

I installed the SCM 5.1 upgrade this morning. One feature that I found particularly useful was the addition of the ENDKey macro command. I had been trying to write a macro to more consistently work to Toggle WiFi Mode (the built-in function fails at times) , but I was unable to exit out of the macro properly. Here it is (the delays may not be mandatory, but they let me visibly see the change):

App: Manage Connections
Macro: Delay500;MenuItemFromTop3;NavClick;Delay500;ENDKey ;

[visortgw]

What is the purpose of Delay2 since delay is in milliseconds?

I wanted to make this thread so we all can share our SCM Macro shortcuts that are useful everyday use.
Add as many as u can conjure up in this thread!
These are only for 6.0 os users

:
:

--Automatic SMS message to person of your choice

--AppName: SMS_Page

--macros: MENUKey;NavMoveDown1;NavMoveRight1;NavClick;Delay2 ;Key [person name here] ;NavMoveDown3;NavClick;Delay2;NavMoveDown1;Key [message to person here]

I.E. --> macros: MENUKey;NavMoveDown1;NavMoveRight1;NavClick;Delay2;Key Mike Jay ;NavMoveDown3;NavClick;Delay2;NavMoveDown1;Key Hey bro

precautionary just incase bb freezes when transitioning

c'mon ppl yall have no macros to contribute?

I am working on adding a new macro called Prompt. It allows users to enforce a prompt message (when running through macros) and then wait with running more macros until ShortcutMe is launched again.
Useful when a user interaction is needed in the middle of macros.

Prompt format: Promptxxxxxxx
Where xxxxxxx is a message that is going to be shown to user

For example:

AppName: Universal Search

Macros: KeyMaps;Delay200;Prompt Now browse over the map app of your choice, then hit conv key to continue with macros;NavClick;Delay200;MenuKey;KeyF;NavClick

This macro will search and show all the maps apps installed on the device and then it will ask user to navigate to a map app they want before hitting the conv key to continue with rest of the macros for Finding a Location.

What do you think. Anything to add to this?

[Suprah]

That would be a great addition. Allows for a more professionalism. Makes making macros more easier

5.1.1.0 (with Prompt macro) is now ready for download if you have any BlackBerry other than Torch and Storm.

Send email to support at shortcutme dot com to get an OTA link.

Another macro...

I use the freeware BBLight to control backlighting on my device. Specifically, I change the configuration of whether or not the backlight stays on when External Power/Charging is active -- I don't want full backlight at night when Bedside Mode is active. This macro toggles the setting within BBLight.

App: BBLight
Macro: Delay250;MenuItemFromTop6;NavClick;MenuKey;Keyc; NavClick;Keyy;

Any example(s) for OS v5.0 (Universal Search is OS v6 only)?

Global Search in OS 5 is different than the Universal Search in OS 6.

I don't have any particular example for Prompt in OS 5, but in general, if you feel that at some point in the middle of your macros, you need to take control and do something, and then let ShortcutMe do rest of the macros, Prompt is the macro to use.


Edit: You can also use Prompt as a measure to make sure that a copied macro (from other users) work on your BlackBerry:

For example (Make sure that NavClick or ENTERKey selects the intended menu item):

MenuKey;NavMoveDown3;PromptIs Downloads highlighted Now?;NavClick;........

Now the Macro will ask you the question and if you answer YES and then click Convenience key to start SCM again, rest of your macros will run.

AppName: Messages

Macros:
MenuKey;Keyv;PromptMake sure View Folders is highlighted;NavClick;delay200;keysms outbox;NavClick

(Prompt is there for making sure the correct menu item is selected).

I upgraded the other night (with alot of help from Vijik, thank you so much for all the support) so now I've got to get busy working on some of these. I love SCM and its capabilities!

[Vijik]

If you want to use FlashLight_Flash feature of ShortcutMe but you don't want to set the Video Light to ON all the time, you can use this macro shortcut:

AppName: FlashLight_Flash

Macro: Delay200;SPACEKey;

(SPACEKey macro is available in SCM 5.1 and later. If you have SCM 5.0, upgrade from ShortcutMe itself: SCM>BB/Menu key>Updates)
