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"?
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).

No, shortcuts can still only be letters.
Even if you enter "abc", ShortcutMe will turn it into uppercase ("ABC") when you save the shortcut.
they are working great, now i can do auto camera snap, i have also set it up so i can take 3 pictures in a row without pressing the right convenience key again

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

Add as many as u can conjure up in this thread!
These are only for 6.0 os users

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.
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.
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):
Flash Light On: Display Name: Flash Light On App Name: FlashLigh_Flash Macros:
MENUKey;MenuItemFromTop7;NavClick;NavClick;MenuIte mFromTop2;NavClick;MENUKey;MenuItemFromTop5;NavCli ck;MenuItemFromBottom2;NavClick; Note: the MenuItemFromTop/Bottom[Number] will be different depending on ur bbmenu items
Flash Light Off: Display Name: Flash Light Off App Name: FlashLigh_Flash Macros:
MENUKey;MenuItemFromTop7;NavClick;NavClick;MenuIte mFromTop1;NavClick;MENUKey;MenuItemFromTop5;NavCli ck; Note: the MenuItemFromTop/Bottom[Number] will be different depending on ur bbmenu items
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!
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)
