When recording a macro that includes "", the playback of that macro will crash upon reaching that part.

I too am having this issue and desperately need the backslash key to be usable for my macro. Please fix if you're able to--many thanks for your consideration (I love your software, by the way!) :)

Update: I found a workaround. After you record your macro, save it. Then open the resulting file in Notepad. Within the Notepad document, search for "key":"\\\\" and replace all instances with "key":"\\"

Save it in Notepad.

Finally, from PyMacro, click "Load" and select the filename to reload it. It will now work.
