    Hello Martin,

    I don't think the macro system is working.

    When start my keystrokes...

    旼 Create key macro 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커
    � �
    � Macro for Messages <ESC> � = delete �
    � <ESC> c = Break �
    � Comment gpg <ESC> 켸 = ok �
    � <ESC> <ESC> = <ESC> �
    � Key <Ctrl [> �
    � �
    � Macro ^I^I^I^I^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H �
    � � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸

    ..I can't end the process as per:

    �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴�
    � �
    � Enter the desired combination of keystrokes. �
    � Shift-Enter confirms entry at end. �
    � Shift-Esc aborts. �
    � Shift-Backspace deletes the last entered �
    � keystroke �

    None of the above work for me.

    It's working but it doesn't work as described :-/

    They don't work for me either.

    I've just configured a test key macro and after a *lot* of fiddling
    around, I discovered that the macro has to be terminated by
    pressing(not holding down) the <ESC> key and then pressing <Enter>.

    Looks like the help file is wrong, so I'll take a more in depth look
    at this as and when I can.

    Regards,
    Martin
