This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Macros 0.10 (02 Aug 1996) by Paul Clifford
==========================================
This module allows actions to be assigned to user defined key
combinations. The actions can either be simple star commands or, for
greater flexibility, pieces of ARM code, and can be executed both in
and out of the desktop environment.
Simple usage
------------
The *Macro command can be used to attach star commands to a list of
keys using the following syntax:
*Macro <key list> : <command> [parameters]
The key names are case insensitive and the | character may be used to
specify 'or'. For example:
LeftAlt | RightAlt Insert
LeftCtrl | LeftShift | LeftAlt F1 | F2 | F3
The first will accept the left or right alt keys, plus insert. The
second will accept the left ctrl, shift or alt keys, plus either F1,
F2 or F3.
Two examples of valid macros would be:
*Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt PageUp : Cache On
*Macro RightAlt LeftAlt : ScreenSave $.Screen
A list of all the defined macros can be obtained with *ListMacros, and
they may be removed using *RemoveMacro, followed by the list of keys
(without the corresponding action). For example, to remove the above
two macros:
*RemoveMacro LeftAlt | RightAlt PageUp
*RemoveMacro RightAlt LeftAlt
More advanced use
-----------------
A more powerful macro can be defined by writing a piece of code to be
called when the keys are pressed. There are several examples supplied,
with source code, which are detailed in the 'MacroCode' file. To write
your own requires knowledge of ARM assembly language - see the
'CodeFormat' file and examples for more information.
To attach a code module requires the same syntax as attaching a star
command, except two colons are used:
*Macro RightAlt CursorDown :: CDControl 4
*Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Break :: Watchdog
Before these macros will have any effect though, the code in question
must be loaded into memory using the *MacroCode command. The names of
all loaded code modules can be found by looking at *ListMacroCode,
which also gives a brief description, together with version and date.
Code modules are removed using *RemoveMacroCode, passing the name of
the module in question:
*RemoveMacroCode Watchdog
*RemoveMacroCode CDControl
Any macros using the code will cease to work until the name becomes
valid again.
Notes on key naming
-------------------
Some keys can be referred to by multiple names:
Alt : LeftAlt, AltLeft, RightAlt, AltRight
Shift : LeftShift, ShiftLeft, RightShift, ShiftRight
Ctrl : LeftCtrl, CtrlLeft, RightCtrl, CtrlRight
Cursors: CursorUp, Up, CursorDown, Down, CursorLeft, Left,
CursorRight, Right
Key names can be replaced or added to by use of a keymap file which is
passed to the module when it is first loaded. This is used to cater
for the Risc PC's keyboard, which is different from those supplied
with previous Acorn machines. If you wish to write your own custom
keymaps, take a look at 'KeyMaps.PCKeysSrc' for an example.
Examples
--------
The 'Example' obey file will set up a number of macros to demonstrate
the module, providing various functions depending on the setup of your
machine. Load it into a text editor to see the comments describing
what each of the macros does, or type *ListMacros after running it to
see those installed.
Also supplied is an obey file called 'FKeys'. This sets up macros
which allow the use of function keys to enter text outside of the
command line. Pressing alt and the function key will enter the text
stored in the system variable, Key$XXYY. YY is the number of the
function key, and XX is either S (shift), C (ctrl) or SC (shift and
ctrl), eg:
*Set Key$S1 Alt, shift and F1 have been pressed
*Set Key$C10 Alt, ctrl and F10 have been pressed
*Set Key$0 Alt and print/F0 have been pressed
