    FYI: Macro feature in ShortcutMe is an advance and unique feature that no other BlackBerry app provides.
    You don't need to master macros to use ShortcutMe. Simple shortcuts can be made easily like other shortcut/launcher apps. But if you require more from your app, then macros in ShortcutMe provides an almost unlimited opportunity for you to create powerfull shortcuts that no other app allows you to do.
    Macro shortcuts are the highly customizable shortcuts created by yourself.

    Has anyone been able to successfully set up a macro to automatically fill in the text field then send an SMS to a specific person?

    For example, I've set up a shortcut to SMS Bob. Shortcut launches SMS, specifically to Bob, but can't launch a macro to type in the text and then send.

    Please help.

    When ShortcutMe runs through macros in a shortcut, as soon as it sees Stop it will stop running more macros in that shortcut.

    Stop macro is there to help you copy other people's macros or test your own macros step by step.

    Menu (/app/etc) items might be in different locations on your BlackBerry comparing to other BBs because of differences between BB OS, and because some apps add menu items to all BB menus.

    Therefore it is a good idea to use Stop in the macros you copy from other users (for example macros posted on this thread).
    It is recommended to use Stop macro in front of NavClick and ENTERKey to make sure that the macros created by other users does not delete something on your BB. After you are sure that the macro goes to the right option in the menu or list (etc) then you can remove Stop to test rest of the macro.

    I am working on a new version of ShortcutMe where following macros are added so far:

    SpaceKey
    SymbolKey
    BackspaceKey

    Let me know if you have seen the need for other macros.

    Send, end, left and right convience key would make for some good macros

    Also it would be cool if we can access shortcutme from menu screens in a app instead of only being able to access scm from the homescreen

    Thank you, Vijik. At first glance, the "Stop" option seemed irrelevant, but after your explanation, I realize it could be quite valuable. Excellent work on this app. It has easily replaced Quicklaunch on my phone.

    Thanks.

    I hope based on the feedbacks the macros get further developed so that they cover everything that is needed to make the BB rock and roll.

    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).

    Vijik,

    Can't see macros on the macro editor screen. They only appear after saving the changes. I'm forced to save the changes frequently and also manually add semi-colons but these are minor annoyances when the functionality of the macros themselves are so effective.

    Macro Editor is very important to have.

    I could see and re-generate it. After googling the error message it looks like that it is a bug in BB OS 4.5 that causes this (only seen on 83xx series). (Error message is ArticInterface:ocPosToCaret. If you want you can google it too).

    Anyway, I have a fix for that for 83xx users running 4.5

    ETW11 and sushistew, send email to support at shortcutme dot com to get a link to download the new version with the fix for the problem you have seen.
    Hopefully that will allow you to see and use the Macro Editor.
