On the mud I play you regain balance after completing actions. I'd like to set up a system where if I type 'punch rat' for example, then press shift-enter then it will take what is currently in the command buffer and only send it to the mud once the regain trigger is fired.

So in the command buffer is 'punch rat'
I hit shift-enter and it stores 'punch rat' in a variable called nextcommand for example. Then on regain I execute whatever is inside nextcommand.

Thanks in advance for any help (or if it just can't be done)

It works, you're a genius. Thanks for the quick reply :)

Hmm, how in the world did I delete a reply by someone else. Apologies whoever that was.

Anyways, I think I got carried away a bit... appears previous triggers etc made me think that the answer had fixed it, but alas. Anyways... It's two main questions I've got here...

Firstly: Can you assign a macro to shift-enter? whenever I try then it doesn't seem to work?
Secondly: Can you capture the current command before you've actually sent it to the game (before you've hit enter basically)?

Apologies to whichever reply I seem to have wiped out.

Heh, I deleted it myself, actually, intending to replace it with a modified version.
To use the macro Shift-Enter, I think you need to specify in Preferences, to use Macros ahead of Zmud default shortcuts.
Secondly, I don't think you can copy what's in the command bar without first manually copying it the the clipboard or sending it to the mud.

Thanks to Zugg for helping me out.

As you mentioned Danlo, you can't assign a macro to Shift-Enter.

Using the %selected function though you can capture what's in the current command buffer. So have assigned F12 to capture what's the the command buffer to then fire on regaining balance.
