iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,

Shortcuts to executes imacro scripts

I am on Win 7 Enterprise and iMacros V 11.5 Enterprise Edition.

Is there any way to assign shortcuts or function keys to execute macros?

Not completely sure about iMB (v11.5) but for FF that I know better, if you convert your ('.iim') Macros to Bookmarklets, you can then assign Shortcuts to them, see for example the following Article which describes several Solutions for which a few should work with any Browser, using AHK, Desktop Shortcuts, some external Add-ons, or even a Startpage (not mentioned).
- Creating Hotkeys in Firefox for bookmarks (bookmarklets)
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

Thank you. I like the AHK approach and will try that. Meanwhile, i also learnt that i can use windows batch file to invoke iMacro. I am testing that and it works fine but it opens url in iMacro browser. I want to open url in IE. FireFox or Chrome is not an option.

Any work around for this?

Yep, '.BAT' File is actually more or less the same like "Desktop Shortcut" that I had mentioned earlier, same Technique...

Tja...!, can't react on your "... but it opens url in iMacro browser. I want to open url in IE. FireFox or Chrome is not an option." if you don't post the Content of your '.BAT' File, ah-ah...! :roll: Of course you can open/start any Browser you want from s Shortcut/'.BAT' File, ah-ah...! :roll:
