Does anybody know of a software that allows you to create keyboard macros ( like Prokey or Superkey ) BUT is smart enough to do things according to what is displayed on the screen. For example: suppose I am in Word-Star and I want to create a keyboard macro that when I press a certain key, it will print my name. So far that is easy. But, if I am in the middle of the sentence, and I am not insert mode, I may overwrite my text. I want the macro to be smart and check if there is the message "INSERT ON" on the screen and if not then enter insert mode first. Also I need the following features: - I want to know the location of the cursor on the screen. - I want to use text that is on the screen in a macro and have string function to modify it.

While not a keyboard macro program per se, the Logimenu software that comes with the Logitech Mouse does have a command to match a string at a specified location on the screen. The package allows you to create popup menus inside most applications, and a companion program, Click, loads up your menu and mouse configuration for each application automatically. And just about any program can be run with a mouse, whether written for it or not. > Also I need the following features: > - I want to know the location of the cursor on the screen. > - I want to use text that is on the screen in a macro and have string > function to modify it.
