UI: add button to use captured value for output
In the UI (1.6b), in Editor -> Output, the captured keys are shown below in grey. To me it was not immediatly clear that this uses the exact syntax I need.
I believe it would add discorverability and easy of use if there was a button titled "use captured output" that would simply add (or replace) the contents of the text field with this value.
that would simply add (or replace) the contents
I would do it by appending it to the text input, to avoid unexpected confusion when the macro is suddenly gone.
Or maybe A dialog popup: "do you want to replace macro
by recorded stuff
- Confirm/Abort" if there is anything in the text field. This avoids creating invalid macros.
The Confirm/Abort dialog might be annoying once you know how it works. An undo button might be more user friendly.
Another way might be to replace selected selected text - append otherwise. But that might be confusing as well.. :/
