Macros let you spit out a wad of text by hitting a key combination. This pane lets you create sets of macros.

To create a new macro:

- Click on the "+" button. You'll see a dialog asking you to type the key you want to use for the macro.

- After typing the key, the dialog will vanish and you'll see the new entry in the list of macros.

- Double-click on the line of the new entry, in the area underneath the Action column. The area will turn into a text entry field; type the text you want Cantrip to send when you type the macro key. Note that the text will be sent as a complete command to the MU*, instead of being put in the Input Area.

To delete a macro, select it in the list, and click the "-" button. To turn it off temporarily, uncheck the checkbox for the macro.
