I noticed that a number of keys I used to use for macros in zmud do not seem to work in cmud. Is there a way to get the following keys to work?

cursor keys, PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END

They work fine for me. *shrug*

Go to Package Editor, click New -> Macro, click on the name box (I believe that's what it is) and press the appropriate button.

Or, just do

#KEY INS {whatever}
#KEY UP {whatever}
#KEY DOWN {whatever}
#KEY LEFT {whatever}

and so forth.

Actually, I was looking into this and another post about allowing macros to be assigned to the arrow keys. I found that CMUD *does* already have a way to do this, and Charneus is on the right track.

The problem is that the Ctrl-K Define Macro popup window doesn't recognize the arrow keys. So you have to use the syntax Charneus gave to define an arrow key macro:

#KEY UP {whatever}

But you *also* need to go into your Preferences and in the Command Line tab, turn on the "Allow alphanumeric keys to be macros". I an renaming this option in v2.33 to "Allow any key to be a macro" to make it a bit more obvious. This option allows you to define *any* key to be a macro, even a key like "A", etc. So be careful with it.

The "Allow alphanumeric keys to be macros" option did the trick. Thanks guys.
