Thanks for the reply.
I liked your idea about clicking twice. Unfortunately when I tried it Windows interpreted that as a double-click and opened the emitter properties.
The macros I’d like to create are pretty simple – such as place emitter regardless of mode, or place blocker regardless of mode.
Another I’ve created which I find really useful is “stop playing and rewind”, since I otherwise invariably forget to rewind after playing.
As a workaround, I can try just leaving it in Select mode all the time, and have the macros assume that they start in Select mode.
Thanks again for your help,
Rob
