[pure salmon]

i dont even want to think about how Linux does it

the webview typescript interface can catch many different keys and their IDs but the issue is translating that to a common ID system that can be applied across operating systems

[pure salmon]

is anyone here interested in a beta test for 1.1?

[teal thorn]

what will it consist of?

[sage zodiac]

Yo, I just downloaded Wootomation, but it doesn't open or work properly. It launches, but only partially. I've tried rebooting, opening as an admin, and reinstalling, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

[pure salmon]

the 1.1 release, but a bit early with still open bugfix submissions

[pure salmon]

did you by any chance run any shady uninstallers or speedup utilities for windows that remove core components?

usually this happens when webview2 is missing

[sage zodiac]

thanks lemme see if it works

[visual girder]

I would be… if i had my wooting 😔

[pure salmon]

wootomation works on any keyboard

[visual girder]

Ayo?

Well then razer cortex can piss off!

[pure salmon]

but then its software based

[visual girder]

Also i’m curious, how is the company handling all the ever-increasing heat? Ever thought you’d be in this position?

[pure salmon]

heat in what sense?

[visual girder]

Popularity, orders, hype

[pure salmon]

well personally never thought my application for a job would even get looked at, let alone accepted xD

but the orders and stuff? we try to adapt and do stuff as quickly as we can, but its difficult to keep up to speed because we try to not sacrifice any quality

if we see bad design decisions we always rework them

but that sometimes means delays

[visual girder]

I respect that 100%

[pure salmon]

personally it changed my perspective a lot about how companies do stuff and products

[visual girder]

Companies that cut corners to sustain short-term satisfaction.. not a win in my book

It’s about the long term

[pure salmon]

yeah, the goal is to make products that last a long time as well

so thinking ahead in certain areas that also takes some practice

[visual girder]

I believe that

I’ll be patiently waiting for 5 jan :>

[pure salmon]

😄

[visual girder]

I wonder, what province is home base in? Wonder if it’s near me :P

[pure salmon]

we are all over the world

there is no central place

[visual girder]

So no ‘business location’?

Where do the keyboards come from then? XD

[pure salmon]

oh like that, i mean we are a netherlands company

so thats like the origin

but working and culture wise, we are from everywhere

[visual girder]

I see

But what province? :P

Yknow what, probably not important

[pure salmon]

no idea 😄

[visual girder]

So i’m looking at wootility rn, and i see a 75% keyboard in the fancy pictures passing by… wasn’t that supposed to be something for 29 december?

[pure salmon]

passsing by what?

[visual girder]

The ‘welcome to wootility’ screen

[coral laurel]

The Wooting One?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHE6yFdoicY&t=1s

[visual girder]

… ah.

I forgot that one existed lmao

[pure salmon]

yeah that'd be the wooting one

[visual girder]

Well ima stop being a bother in the wrong channel now, good work lads 👍

[teal thorn]

well yes, happy to try beta 1.1

[pure salmon]

release is planned soon

if you have any feedback i'll be happy to try to work it in before release but bugfix only most likely

[teal thorn]

Ok, I'll let you know if I found anything you mentioned.

[teal thorn]

@pure salmon Could you send it again, I didn't have time to download the program

[pure salmon]

yeah one sec

[teal thorn]

okk

[pure salmon]

i think we'll release tommorow anyway

but i'll probs get to it in the morning, wanted to doublecheck smth first and its midnight already

[teal thorn]

ok no problem

[pure salmon]

Wootomation 1.1-pre-release

[rich needle]

I want to provide translations for other countries

can I?

[whole crag]

I have a wooting two he on latest version and I can't get any macro running. The recording is alright but I can't run them

[teal thorn]

what version do you have?

[willow mirage]

its gonna come in future releases

[rich needle]

T^T

It contains Korean?

[pure salmon]

i think this is best discussed in the #1068101401915424798

[rich needle]

unknown channel

@pure salmon

[pure salmon]

i see

[pure salmon]

we do have a translation guide, try this one: https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/Wooting-Software-Translations-Guide-919f6178146f4e549b2d994c05a1f18b

[rich needle]

oh I see

I wanna fill my language translation

thank you😘

[pure salmon]

👌

[rich needle]

I hope you accept

[pure salmon]

although please be patient for holiday season, might take slightly longer to approve

[rich needle]

🙀

ok

[pure salmon]

👌

[blazing trout]

has anyone been able to bind a macro and have it actually work in cod or apex? it work when i type in either games chat box, but wont actually work when playing!

[hoary nebula]

Hello i have a question about macro on wootmation, i play fortnite and i created a macro who edit directly but i can't use it if other keys are pushed... Someone can help me please ?

[whole crag]

I have 1.0.2 installed which I believe is the latest version available

[teal thorn]

They said they will implement it in version 1.1

[teal thorn]

They said they will implement it in version 1.1

[teal thorn]

so you just have to wait for a new version if you read above in the comments

[smoky comet]

I wish I’ll have it too soon…

[rich needle]

Yup Yup

[spice ravine]

hihi

how finely can i tune the macros?

can i custom make each key press up and down and adjust the ms of its trigger or no?

[pure salmon]

yes

[visual girder]

I cant get these macros to work with fort

When i hold down w to move and then try to macro it doesnt let me

also for some reason if i spam it the letter will still type sometimes

if anyone knows how to fix this please lmk

[pure salmon]

fortnite?

yeah you'll get banned if you use macros in that game

[visual girder]

why?

ive used macros on my other keyboard for years never got banned

[pure salmon]

because its considered cheating and this is a software based solution for all keyboards not just wooting keyboards

[visual girder]

soo lets say i dont mind getting banned is there anywayt to fix my problem?

[pure salmon]

a new version will come out in january that should fix a lot of bugs

but then again im not sure if it fixes something thats not supposed to cooperate with anyway

[covert sigil]

is the loop macro feature going to be next patch?

[willow mirage]

version 1.2, somewhere next year :)

[rapid oriole]

why does my macro not work. Can someone please help me

[willow mirage]

have you saved the macro?

[covert sigil]

aight thanks

[rapid oriole]

hi yes i saved it

[rapid oriole]

my goal is to make a macro so i can write the degree symbol °. But somehow it doesnt work

[rapid oriole]

does someone has an idea?

[pure salmon]

are you using the paste text? whats your trigger key setup?

[rapid oriole]

my trigger key ist alt gr + G and im using the paste text option

[rapid oriole]

any other things i can check?

[pure salmon]

try another trigger if you can

[rapid oriole]

now it works but the text is showing up 2x times

is it smarter to make a macro which presses alt +0176

[glass arch]

wootomation is only working with qwerty and not with qwertz layout.

[cunning crypt]

my macro not working too

[humble saddle]

how long does it take for translations to get approved? i finished Swedish on 19th december

[severe sorrel]

hey when i press the trigger key while another key are pressed, the macro does't work, is there a solution ?

[willow mirage]

the keys in the back end should be getting passed along correctly in 1.1, but it displays wrong key on the front end iirc, maybe @pure salmon can comment on this

[willow mirage]

don't believe there's a solution for this, but again maybe David can comment on this

[pure salmon]

translations are discussed in another channel, this is the Wootomation macro app channel

[pure salmon]

i know what you mean, but we disallowed it to prevent unwanted keypresses. there is however, a feature that could bring it back

[humble saddle]

my bad

[pure salmon]

no problem 😄 happens

[severe sorrel]

so for the moment we can do nothing ? 😭

[pure salmon]

for the moment i think not, theres a big backend update coming in 1.2 tho, but that will take some time

[severe sorrel]

ok thanks

[rich needle]

@pure salmon

Whenwhenwhenwhen

[willow mirage]

this is not the correct channel :)

[rich needle]

Correct channel

[willow mirage]

this channel is for wootomation, not wootility

wootomation translations are gonna come further down the line

[rich needle]

But I'm talking about the web page because I've already talked about it here and the administrator gave it to me

[dire quartz]

Can you create a macro for pausing/playing media? I could't find it.

[knotty sapphire]

Not sure you need a macro for this. Why not just bind the ⏯️ button in Wootilty?

Unless you don't have one of our boards

[dire quartz]

thx for the answer. yeah thats the problem atm
I think I just have to survive like that until EU-Wolken is out. xD

[pure salmon]

i think we do have that in wootomation? or is it just like volume controls

i can definitely research more into it and add it to the list

[dire quartz]

For me there is only increase volume, decrease volume and mute.
But if there is only me who needs that then I guess there is no need to do any work on that whatsoever. thx tho
I will just wait for my 60HE

[pure salmon]

i already have it as a suggestion from someone on github, wanted to go deeper into the backend we have anyways, so i'll take a look

tho your 60HE will deffo arrive sooner than 1.2 release as 1.1 is not even out yet 😄

[willow mirage]

😿

[woven relic]

Hello if anyone can help me, why my non modifier key doesn't work when i try my macro before that it works

[stark trail]

Does anyone know if theres a way I can make something work for siege where if I HOLD Q or E itll hold lean but the second I let go it will let go of lean. But If I just tap it itll lean and stay

Siege doesn't use seperate keybinds for toggle vs hold lean. It's just a on or off settings

[willow mirage]

this should be possible to do with DKS if you own a wooting keyboard

[deft sun]

You could use toggle key for this no? Just set it to hold in game

[placid ferry]

can someone give me the direct link to download wootomation. for some reason the download is not working on the official website

for windows

[pure salmon]

im not sure I understand the question correctly 😄

[pure salmon]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/releases/tag/v1.0.2

[marble snow]

Is there any reason as to why certain keys do not work in wootomation? I'm just trying to make a simple macro where it just spams "r" so I can drop large amounts of items in a game I play but it seems to not work at all? I can get some keys to work but it isn't what I'm looking for

[shy lotus]

all handled the exact same way. the only difference would be the game having different handlers/cooldowns for certain actions

[livid ingot]

hey, just wondering - is it possible to save macros made in wootomation to the keyboard's onboard memory?

nvm, i found a "no" answer from march of last year in this channel, if that's changed since i would be interested to find out

[heavy hinge]

Hello guys, does wootomation has an option to set a macro that repeats while holding the button?

[willow mirage]

nope, it's a completely external tool

[willow mirage]

not right now, you will have to wait for future releases

[boreal shore]

is there a way to hold a button down

[pure salmon]

yes you can just set a press down event and release it later or set the duration for longer

[lucid lodge]

does anyone know why i have to release all inputs in order for the macro to work? just got the keyboard and software not too long ago

also is it possible to have a macro on left control or do i have to actually rebind that button to something else in order to have a macro there?

[west raven]

any info when this is coming?

[pure salmon]

currently a bit busy with other things but a review process of 1.1 is underway

[pure salmon]

this should be fixed in 1.1 but won't mean you can combine more inputs with the trigger. the macros must match exactly currently, CTRL+SHIFT+F+(any other key) won't match the trigger

there is a feature that could change this, but I have yet to test it properly, it is in my mind tho, maybe 1.2 will include a toggle for it

it could cause complications however in games

[pure salmon]

no, modifiers by themselves should be reserved for a combintion with othery keys only, tho technically this could be coded in as a feature. can keep that in mind as well

[lucid lodge]

thanks for the response!

was just wondering if i was doing something wrong cuz i couldnt activate a macro that uses an ability in game while holding a direction key for example lol

glad to hear it will be fixed soon

[west raven]

okay, been waiting for this for soooo long

[pure salmon]

yeah i feel you, its just we have a lot going on with everything now 😄 will try to do it as quickly as I can

[pure salmon]

not entirely sure myself, we need to do a proper roundup, but theres not that much work left

[pure salmon]

oh wait 1.4? nono thats not yet being worked on 😄

[swift tendon]

hey, will someday Wootomation be available for mac? if yes: when?

[inner heath]

how can I set up a macro to spam crtl + left click while holding the key down, when I do it and hit the trigger key nothing happens

nvm they dont have loop macros yet

[willow mirage]

eventually yes, https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/issues/106

[pure salmon]

1.3 is the version that i think could target macos

[lament marsh]

The end goal is a macro that does ALT F4, preferably with ALT 4 as my trigger keys. Not terribly picky but it'd be nice to achieve. I'm on the 60HE, windows 10. I have CTRL 1 as a temporary binding while I try and get this working

This macro seemingly breaks after I use it 2-3 times OR if I open a program. Restarting Wootomation allows me another 2-3 macro triggers. I have the software open as administrator. Wootility closed. On a digital profile. The macro is saved and enabled

*Example:

Open Google Chrome. CTRL 1 to trigger macro. Success.

Open Chrome. CTRL 1. Macro fails. Close Chrome using mouse.

Restart Wootomation.

Open Chrome. Open Notepad. CTRL 1 on Chrome and Notepad. Both success.

Open Chrome, CTRL 1. Fail.*

Did I make a silly mistake or do I perhaps have another issue at hand? Sorry for writing a book lol

[vague musk]

hi I have downloaded WOOTOMATION and tried to do an auto clicker (to manage loots easier in path of exile) but I am too dumb I guess

I try to make my "Right-Shift" spamming "Left Mouse Click" while pressing it, is it possible to do ? (so I can right ctrl + right shift to simulate ctrl click)

(Last time I asked the soft wasn't ready to do that kind of macro)

Thank you very much for your help, have a good day

[bleak aspen]

anyone been able to get wootomation working in cs? just trying to get a simple one that opens chat, pastes, then sends message but cant seem to get cs to recognise macro inputs until i open the chat manually.

[lament marsh]

I noticed that in Roblox. Wootomation seemingly can't open chat there either. Odd

[tardy pendant]

ah I see, I have the same issue as I use macros to help me play certain video games on my wooting, however, they don't work while pressing another button. I'll look out for 1.2 because I really want to use my wooting again for the games, for now im using my other keebs

I completely understand why the feature was implemented (there are times where the macro is unneeded like outside games), but it'd be nice for a setting to turn it off ty :)

[cunning crypt]

I cant use wootomation macro when i play roblox

[pure salmon]

macros for online games or games with anticheat software are not supported by us

[marble coyote]

this is my current list of what wootomation launches, any suggestions for what else i can add? this is really all i need to optimize my work flow

[cosmic bay]

My macro wont work while pressing other keys. I need to walk and be able to press my macro but when holding other keys, my macro does not do anything until I stop pressing other buttons

has anyone fixed this issue?

[pure salmon]

its a design choice, not an issue per say, but there have been multiple requests to allow other keys while pressed

i'll look at it in the 1.2 release, for now 1.1 is being finished

[rustic fossil]

This is prob a dumb question but how do I change the layer switch buttom from CTRL to Capslock?

I'm coming from a poker vortex where I would hold the capslock key to access the differnet layer functions

[knotty sapphire]

Are you talking about Fn layers? Not quite sure what you mean by changing the layer switch button from CTRL

[rustic fossil]

yeah, I want to be able to hold capslock to use the FN 1 layer

Nvm I figured it out, just need to learn wootility

Didnt realize there was a save to keyboard button in the top right lol

[vestal prism]

how do I get a single key to repeat as i hold it or as a toggle? I want to make my space key repeat really fast when i hold it. this basic functionality seems impossible 😔

[safe linden]

wootimation isnt working

i tweaked my pc is that maybe the issue with adamx tweak

[stiff ocean]

Same

[visual girder]

@stiff ocean @safe linden do both of you have webview 2 installed?

[stiff ocean]

What is that?

[visual girder]

.

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH

[stiff ocean]

It might not be

I’m going to install this and retry it tomorrow

When I was being tweaked it was possibly deleted for optimization

Thank you @visual girder

[willow mirage]

should come in version 1.1

[safe linden]

nah

[visual girder]

Then you should install it

[safe linden]

where

[visual girder]

I sent a link

[safe linden]

?

where

[visual girder]

Read up and you'll see it

[safe linden]

@visual girder

the program works now but the macro dont

could you help me in call pls

[visual girder]

I'm not staff and I don't own a wooting

Post your issue, what you're doing and what's not happening, then someone will help you

If you're trying to use a macro in fortnite, it won't work

Anticheats, etc

[safe linden]

ohohoh

@visual girder how can i bypass it?

[visual girder]

You can't, use another software

[safe linden]

GG!

[safe linden]

what software would u suggest?

[visual girder]

No clue, google "macro software" not helping you cheat in games

[safe linden]

just pick up macro

chill

[visual girder]

What? Macros are cheating

[visual girder]

no

[visual girder]

"no"

[fading coyote]

when trying to download

i get error code 2503 and 2502

[cinder turtle]

From here? https://wooting.io/wootomation It downloads just fine

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/releases/download/v1.0.2/Wootomation_1.0.2_x64_en-US.msi

[pure salmon]

yes you need to have webview2 installed. doing various weird "tweaks" to an operating system can break other software unexpectedly

[pure salmon]

they in fact are considered cheating in many multiplayer games

[radiant vine]

Defo cheating lol

[shy lotus]

quite literally any online game TOS/EULA you read will tell you that its cheating

unless we talk about pwn adventure 3: pwnie island

that game is meant to be exploited and hacked

[copper seal]

for me wootomation doesnt just work like i make the macro and everything but when i press trigger key nothing happens

[cobalt saffron]

I would like to create a macro in which while you press the key it is executed and when you release it it is deactivated. Does anyone know how to do it?

[pure salmon]

coming in 1.2

[pure salmon]

1.1 should bugfix these issues

[cobalt saffron]

lol that is going to be very broken, we know when the update will be

[pure salmon]

no eta yet

[torn yew]

Hello, i try to make macro but dont know how to loop untill keybind is down. I miss something ?

[stray veldt]

guys there is no way to put the micro on one profile ? coz the micro apply on all profiles of the keyboard

[willow mirage]

should come in v1.1

[willow mirage]

wootomation is it's own app, it has nothing to do with profiles inside wootility

[pure salmon]

1.2 😄

[stray veldt]

oh nice tried using micro text inside an app called " bluestacks " the micro doesn't work on bluestack I guess

[pure salmon]

i would love to but cant promise a timeline, theres a lot of stuff happening rn

[twin kindle]

Hi David

[cobalt saffron]

I also bought the keyboard waiting for this update but still nothing. Currently I have the keyboard sealed in its box and I am playing with the Corsair keyboard since the software is still superior... which is a sin because the wooting keyboard is clearly visible. quite premium

[stiff ocean]

Wootomation is not working, I have webview 2 installed so IDK what the issue could be

[placid pivot]

Hello I wanted to see if it was possible to do a simple toggle macro with the wootility without or with holding down the key. Am familiar with macros in general like icue or razor synaps but Idk how to do it in wootily and would like a simple pointer.

[proper sequoia]

is it possible to make a exact position macro on a game like gta i need a click macro for 5 seconds and moved 4 times to doa nother 5 second long clicks is anyone able to help me please

[signal edge]

created a new issue for this as it has the problem has persisted for nearly a year https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/issues/203

[latent bronze]

Wootomation seems to be using US keyboard layout despite me having a UK keyboard. As an example if I put the " key in the program it will output # instead. While ` is outputing as '

The issue appears to be very similar to this issue on the github from a year ago. https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/issues/105

[willow mirage]

should be fixed in 1.1

[latent bronze]

Any idea when that will be? Since the last update appears to have been roughly a year ago. Or is that not known?

All I wanted to do is create a simple macro to put my text in a code block like this

[willow mirage]

iirc Simon and David are reviewing the code right now before release, it should come really soon

@pure salmon

[latent bronze]

Nice good to know. Thanks for the response. Currently seeing if I can get it to work with dynamic keys for now.

[pure salmon]

yeah theres 250 comments or somehting, we are really trying to make the release robust

and also very busy with other things rn that delay PR reviews at this time

[ionic pasture]

so i was wondering if you guys could make it so it tracks your mouse movement and when you hold down a button it plays it

[willow mirage]

not possible inside wootomation

[terse locust]

How can i add accent's macros on my wotting 60he ?

[crude berry]

wootomation

[lone axle]

But why can' t you download Double movement on ps4

[ionic pasture]

just wondering how?

[knotty sapphire]

Double movement is built into Fortnite, not sure what you are talking about

[visual girder]

It's not activating on key press, common bug? Trigger key set to: C

[visual girder]

my macro works outside the game but not in game how to fix?

[visual girder]

Anticheats, you can't fix

[visual girder]

.

but macro is allowed in the game

its not allowed but its not banned yet

[willow mirage]

should come with v1.1, but be careful.. it's not recommended

[visual girder]

when does it come out

[pure salmon]

in review rn

[wispy pendant]

Good morning everyone - I think my question has been answered above, but do macros not currently work in games? Looking to use macros for stratagems in Helldivers II, and currently cannot seem to get my test macros to work.

[cobalt saffron]

Currently they have said to wait for the next version, the only big problem is that since they are with the new 80He keyboard, it is not known when they will release the next update but if it helps you, you can try AutoHotkey.

[wispy pendant]

Thank you!

[visual girder]

Hey does wootamation not have a macro killswitch? Like to force off ?

I have a macro but I wanna be able to stop it instantly.

Minecraft in specific

[steady spindle]

good morning, I am trying to add the danish keys as FN + (something) on my UK ISO keyboard.

[fervent portal]

I'm looking for something similar with getting german umlauts with my us-ansi keyboard. I believe wootomation doesn't support that out of the box yet, but I was looking into getting it to work using windows unicode input (alt + numpad + + the hex code of the character)

[teal juniper]

I think you can do this in base wootility, however you can only add characters of the language your OS is in.

[barren prawn]

please add scroll wheel functionality

[steel kayak]

does anybody know if theres repeatable macro on keydown?

[tall jay]

Does someone know if you can put a macro on shift ? For me it doesn’t work on shift

[willow mirage]

will come with version 1.1

[static pelican]

pressing the trigger key for any macro required/forces to stop using other keys meanwhile any fix?

adding on hold macros would be great aswell

[willow mirage]

that is expected behavior, not a bug, David said he will take a look at it with version 1.2

as it has already been requested by couple other people

[willow mirage]

this will come with release 1.1, it's taking longer than expected because of other priorities and mainly because Simon and David want this release to be solid

[static pelican]

aight thanks for the respond ! 👍

[summer magnet]

Can you expand on why you say the upcoming feature to make macros work in games isn't recommended? I am currently experiencing an issue where Wootomation is not working at all in a game (Helldivers 2 with GameGuard anti-cheat) but my logitech mouse macros always work (including keypresses), however my buttons are too limited on my mouse. I was hoping I could set up macros on my wooting keyboard but the wootility seems painfully limited in what it allows you to do to emulate keypresses at a hardware level (which is what I assume is the difference here anyway, I don't know for sure).

Is whatever feature you warn against being used in 1.1 going to be riskier compared to other products, do you recommend getting a logitech or other major brand keyboard that has first party macro software instead?

[willow mirage]

anti cheats are an issue, you can get banned for using macros since it could very well might be considered cheating; we just don't want people to get banned and then come crying here they've been banned for using wootomation - that's why we advise against using macros in games when v1.1 comes out

this risk comes with every macro software, not only wootomation, but since wootomation is something completely new, you might not get kicked automatically (like EAC does to AutoHotkey and AutoIt) and can trigger a ban

[jolly wraith]

hey, i just got my wooting & im wondering how i can switch my profiles via hotkeys?

[coral laurel]

Bind the keys "cycle" and "mode" to either cycle between them or swap to the last used

[timber ocean]

Why cant I find a repeat function for a macro or is that a 1.1 thing? if so When 1.1?

[teal juniper]

1.1 comes out ||soon™️||

[timber ocean]

yeah but is that going to be added to 1.1 or am i missing something?

[teal juniper]

pretty sure its coming 1.1

[timber ocean]

ty

[teal juniper]

could be wrong tho im not super familiar with wootomation

[halcyon locust]

is there a way to open a file with wootomation with parameters as well, instead of just the file itself? i.e. I want to use it to open a shortcut of Overwolf, with parameters that make it open an app instead of the overwolf launcher

nvm I made a batch file to open the shortcut, then made a macro on wootomation to open the batch file

if there's a cleaner way that would be nice, but if not this is functional :)

[stray veldt]

macro should be on the wotility other than that macros doesn't work in games unlike macros created on Razer snaps and GG steelseries they all work fine but wootomation macros doesn't work properly

[teal juniper]

wootomation doesnt allow macros to work in games due to anticheats and most games banning macros in their TOS, this will change in the 1.1 update.

macros are never coming to wootility because it entirely goes against what wooting wants wootility to be. adding macros to wootility would require wootility to always be open in the background, web functionality would also have to be removed or the web version wouldnt have macros. wooting is very keen on keeping web functionality, feature parity between the web version and the app version, and not requiring wootility to be open in the background. this would go against those ideas.

[stray veldt]

aha that is why they didn't put macros on wotility now I understand ty

[umbral hollow]

Did you figure this out? Still looking for an answer

[teal juniper]

@umbral hollow

[willow mirage]

not possible iirc, @pure salmon ?

[pure salmon]

what do you mean? the trigger? the output?

[pure salmon]

1.2 planned, in the future

[barren prawn]

i just wanted to be able to use wootomation and/or wootility to bind a key on the keyboard to scroll up or scroll down, like it already has the function to do left click

i was able to bind scroll up or down on my old razer keyboard

[pure salmon]

added to future features

[barren prawn]

Thx g

[dim marsh]

There is no way (currently) to run a macro on a continuous loop whilst holding down the macro key.

I am under the impression that there is an impending update (i have no idea on a release date) to wootomation which may be fleshing out the macro software to enable things like this and allow use for macros in game

[lofty gale]

is lua script execution possible with this?

[pure salmon]

the codebase is rust, there is no lua interpreting for macros or intermediate language that would get processed. it is an interesting proposition though.

[knotty hare]

Hi! I'm having problems with wootomation, I have it installed but it doens't trigger any macro 😦

[visual girder]

Where are you using the macros?

[stray veldt]

me too I have to restart my pc to be apple to work and doesn't work properly unfortunately

able no aple sry LUL

[frosty solar]

would anyone know why if i set the trigger key to a mouse button (4), the macro no longer works? but then if i set the same macro to a different trigger key like on the keyboard, it works fine

i just tested the trigger key again, it works if i set it to the middle click (scroll wheel click) but not mouse button 4 or 5. ive tested it with multiple mice so its not a mouse issue

[pure salmon]

should be fixed in 1.1 thats hopefully coming extremely soon

[pure salmon]

Wootomation 1.1 pre-release will come today

[frosty solar]

sweet. im assuming theres no function yet to like, hold the trigger key down and the cycle repeats until we let go right?

[pure salmon]

thats for 1.2 😄

1.1 was a long needed bugfixing and UI update

A long awaited update to Wootomation, 1.1 is now in pre-release! You are welcome to try it out for yourselves and give any feedback for issues during your experience. We will take the feedback and try to tidy up the rough edges, before the official release happens! Check out the release notes and the download link here:
https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/releases/tag/v1.1.0

You can download your OS version from the GiHub page. Remember, on Linux, you need to run run as root and works mostly only on X11 for now.

[willow mirage]

🥳🥳🥳

[cobalt saffron]

[teal juniper]

cant wait for random kids to rage when they get banned for using macros and blame wooting

[pure salmon]

yeah...

[pure salmon]

i'm not really sure, we just released 1.1

1.2 is gonna be the loop macros and backend rewrite

1.3 needs to be the macOS support

but then maybe depends, if it is something that is semi-easily done i may even try to do it with 1.2

[pure salmon]

tho that sounds more like a firmware feature if im understanding it correctly

[gaunt ether]

i might be stupid but.. i cant download this

[halcyon smelt]

Does the pre-release include the game compatibility? I understand the concern about bans but after installing 1.1 I still can't manage to get the macros to fire in-game whatsoever in Helldivers 2

[willow mirage]

yes v1.1.0 should support in-game macros

[willow mirage]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/releases/tag/v1.1.0 -> scroll down to assets -> select windows or linux build

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/releases/download/v1.1.0/Wootomation_1.1.0_x64_en-US.msi

this is the windows build

[halcyon smelt]

I understand, that is the one I downloaded

I'ma mess around ingame to make sure stuff isnt conflicting or something

[willow mirage]

maybe it's their anticheat doing it's thing

[halcyon smelt]

maybe, but people are using basic AHK fine, so maybe this sends keys differently?

[halcyon smelt]

aha maybe it doesn't, looks like recent posts are saying AHK is blocked after all

[pure salmon]

right now we are working on the 80HE and other things, but we'll try to see how to implement this after we see where we should ideally implement this behavior

its not wootomation that will implement it though most likely

[teal juniper]

this would require your OS language to be set to a language with these characters. this would also be a base wootility thing if you're talking about modtap.

[lucid harbor]

@pure salmon do you rekon we can get support for other devics? fr example i see NP5.

nvm... got it to work

[lucid harbor]

nvm...

its kinda funky

sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

[lucid harbor]

super confused, i bound stuff to my keyboard and sometimes it just does not work.,

[lucid harbor]

^

ty lol

[elder oar]

Does wooting software has macros as well ?

[pure salmon]

Only simpler 2-3 key combinations without much timings (DKS and such), for more advanced macros there is Wootomation

[tardy forge]

wootomation just doesnt work in warframe for me

i tried adding delay between keys increasing the input delay but nothing

[tardy forge]

is there an actual way to put a macro on wootility?

cause wootomation is terrible

[teal juniper]

no

[teal juniper]

its not the best right now, but they're working on it

[zealous kiln]

Will this software cause anti-cheat to go nutz?

[rough thorn]

its just normal macro software so that depends what the anti cheat does about macros

[zealous kiln]

Its either virtualized or its actual keyboard commands

GameGlass would be an example of a virtualized method

[rough thorn]

is that a question or a statment, im not sure what to tell you aside from only the anti cheat maker/publisher can decide what they look for and have this/autohotkey/similar stuff be triggered or not

[zealous kiln]

statment, anti-cheat can only prevent virtualized methods

[rough thorn]

anti cheat can also look for what programs are running and do stuff based on that

like at best you could ask what game you want to use it for and someone else could maybe say as of now there is or is no issue

but that could change with any update

[zealous kiln]

"wootomation" is Virtual commands, so no go. DKS in the wootility works fine, not sure why they just didn't add macros there.

[rough thorn]

because DKS is stored on the keyboard so you never need to have the tool running

a full on macro tool needs to be running as you can't store all of that locally on the board

[pure salmon]

did you try the 1.1 version? however remember that multiplayer games won't work properly and or you can get banned for cheating if you use it that way

[tardy forge]

i know, i have a gk61 keyboard as well and on that one the chinese software has a macro and it works

on wootomation the game doesnt even recognize the inputs it just doesnt work at all

[west plank]

I just perused it, and I may have missed it, but still no "repeat" / turbo functionality?

[spiral mural]

how do you setup a macro for fortnite

[teal juniper]

you dont, its against Epic's rules

[spiral mural]

ok but like hypothetically could you

[teal juniper]

im not going to give you tips on how to cheat

[pure salmon]

Macro loops are coming with 1.2

[gaunt epoch]

can you not Autoloop?

wtf

[shy lotus]

what do you mean auto loop

[gaunt epoch]

for my macro to run automatically / repeat itself

[visual girder]

Considering the message above yours saying it's coming in 1.2, no, you can't "auto-loop"

[gaunt epoch]

when is 1.2 scheduled?

[cobalt saffron]

Hello guys, I wanted to ask you if there is currently a way to block the (windows, ALT-TAB, ALT ESC) keys while I play, it is really annoying

[plush gale]

why does mouse buttons don't work as triggers?

[tardy forge]

you can using autohotkey

[tardy forge]

because they are not a controller??? i feel like youre trolling

[pure salmon]

later, tho 1.1 is going to be released in a few minutes

[pure salmon]

done, just restart your Wootomation for the update check to go through 😄

[coral laurel]

Oh snaaaappp

[lilac sand]

I look forward to find out what this will add 👍

I do have a question tho, might be me just being dumb tho.
It says in "Patch Notes" that 1.1 was released December 21st 2023?

or well, technically it doesn't say "released" just says what's new with it. But feels somewhat odd to have that out a few months before it was released 🤔

[sour folio]

can somone make me a fortnite edit macro

[cobalt saffron]

So the advanced Macro settings option is not available yet?

[pure salmon]

the changes were finalized back then, that's why the date 😄

[pure salmon]

not yet 😄

[lilac sand]

Got it 👍

[gaunt epoch]

lmk when 1.2 drops thx

[spiral mural]

This guy

[nimble wedge]

Are there limitations with modifier keys and opening apps? Like if I wanted to do R-ALT + NP1 (numpad1) to launch an app, is there some reason that just does'nt work?

Hmmm seems specific to the Alt key. I tried just R-Ctrl and it works actually. That is strange.

[pure salmon]

ALT is quite tricky to get working properly and we are still working on that

[spiral mural]

How do I make the macro activate while holding and stop after I let go

[pure salmon]

thats a feature coming in 1.2

[nimble wedge]

Gotcha. I had trouble with Ctrl too unfortunately, but I was able to get very simple keybinds to work.

Love Wooting stuff, but had to go with Powertools keyboard to get things to work a little better (but not much better 😅)

Looking forward to future updates.

For context I just wanted semi to complex keybinds to launch my favorite programs (or reopen them). But it seems lots of modifier keys is difficult.

[pure salmon]

hmm are there any issues with CTRL? specifically the macros?

if you could share the macro, it could help make it better for future releases

[tall jay]

Please for all keys because I like to use the Shift key 🫶

[pure salmon]

it should work for all keys, maybe except alt for now

[tall jay]

That’s nice 🤧

[dusk island]

Is there a reason why macros arent working in games? I am trying to create a very basic macro such as shift+w = hold w and it wont trigger in game, however in notepad or any other desktop app on windows 10 it works.

[rigid lion]

I want to set the RT for each key individually, can I do that

[willow mirage]

which game? you can do that with DKS inside Wootility

[willow mirage]

no, you can only enable/disable per key + you are in the wrong channel

[dusk island]

Helldivers 2, none of the macros I make work in game, but outside of the game they do.

[willow mirage]

the anti cheat is blocking the macros

#💻│wootomation message

[tawdry mulch]

hey
i tried to make apretty simple macro on wootomation

but I don't know how to start it

nothing happens when i press the trigger keys

i tried others trigger keys

i tried starting the sowftware as an administrator

nothing change

any ideas ?

another question ; is it possible to record from another app ? doing stuff in the app and then come back and then the sequence of what you just did is created

bc rn i can record a sequence but only in the soft

[pure salmon]

whats the version of the wootomation app you are using?

[tawdry mulch]

i just donwloaded it

like 10min ago

so latest i guess

[pure salmon]

yheah

interesting, did you try using different trigger? instead of ALT

[tawdry mulch]

YES

sorry for maj, i even tried like F3, just F3

ok you are right

i think it messes with alt, but now it works with ctrl

i'll try to see

[pure salmon]

yeah

[tawdry mulch]

what about this ; another question ; is it possible to record from another app ? doing stuff in the app and then come back and then the sequence of what you just did is created

[pure salmon]

left click autocancels the macro recording

[tawdry mulch]

ah

i'll try again so

nah it wont work with alt+tab aswell

[pure salmon]

hmm maybe there is an out of focus thing as well

interesting

i'll add that to the issue list because we'd want to support that ideally

[tawdry mulch]

yeah

beacuse you know its hard to record a sequence from memory

x)

[pure salmon]

yeahh

i added it to the 1.1.1 bugfix update

[tawdry mulch]

btw, is there any way to stop a macro

since you started it ?

and, another question, is there a way to make it loop

and i thinkk you might also add to duplicate more than one line

maybe by being able of selecting more than one line, like holding CTRL for eample

this way i could select a whole bunch of lines, and duplicate them, and it add to the following

[pure salmon]

not yet but there will be in 1.2

its part of the backend rewrite to have macros be able to be individually started/stopped remotely

along with the loop macros and such

[tawdry mulch]

because the macro i just created is like 5min long, so for the tests I need to be able to kind of stop it otherwise it's pretty annoying ot wait for the end of the macro when 'you see a bug in the beginning

you feel me

and loop macro would be great aswell, maybe i could trick it by adding the keys to start the macro at the end of my macro ? xD

[dusk island]

Ah ok figured it was something like that, just wanted to confirm. Thank you for your time.

[fringe beacon]

how to i use wootomation?

and what is it?

[willow mirage]

all-in-one macro application

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros

[fringe beacon]

is there any profiles to get?

for specific games?

[willow mirage]

no, it's not advised to be used in games as it can trigger anti cheats

keep in mind it's a completely separate app and works with any keyboard

[fringe beacon]

oh ok got it thank u!

[cinder gazelle]

Hey guys, I am having trouble to set up a macro to cycle between desktop, and it seems that it is not working. This is the first Time that I ever tried keyboard macros, here is a screen shot of my wootomation. Did I do something wrong?

[tardy forge]

will there be a macro implementation inside of the wootility?

[pure salmon]

you also need to release the keys manually, if you onyl press them, that should include ctrl and win release after the keys. also the delays make it impossible to work as a shortcut, you should remove the delays

[pure salmon]

that is currently not entirely decided

[tardy forge]

please decide to add it

[pure salmon]

do you have a specific usecase that wootomation doesn't cover?

[tardy forge]

wootomation just works terribly

[cinder gazelle]

Is this what you mean? I am still having trouble making it work?

[tardy forge]

if for instance 6 is pressed to run a macro to press 5 and e at an interval of 60ms between each, it spams the six and the 5 and the e while undetected as a keystroke by a game that allows it in their tos

[crude berry]

add delays between the actions. how everything gets pressed at the same time

[cinder gazelle]

Still not working. 😦 Did I do something wrong?

[crude berry]

save macro top right maybe

[shy lotus]

im pretty sure your pc will still see you holding alt+1

which would mean ctrl+alt+win+1+left arrow

[pure salmon]

oh and alt keys are kinda not good for triggers

i'll disallow alt as trigger until fixed in the next update

[cinder gazelle]

What are some good triggers? What should I use?

[cinder gazelle]

I am not sure I understand. Is there a way to test if macro is working? Like visualizing the triggered keys after macro trigger

[cinder gazelle]

I did save it. There is just nothing happen after I pressed the trigger, (maybe I have set some bad trigger according to David). I have tried setting another macro for testing. The TEST is also not working. Maybe it is something else?

I am just pressing some random keys on the numpad to test. It is also not working, (num pad lock is off, num pack is working)

[pure salmon]

weird

try to restart wootomation fully and see if it still doesn't work

[cinder gazelle]

I restarted wootomation. It is now WORKING! Thank you for the helps!

I also found something werid. If I have the wootomation focused (aka, if I click on the window to make it focused) none of the macros work until I click to something else. Not sure if this is intended

[pure salmon]

kinda, its sort of an interesting side effect of how the tauri framework Wootomation uses works. I've been meaning to tackle it but not sure whats a good approach yet

[cinder gazelle]

Also I have a question regarding the trigger. It seems that I have to release all the trigger and press all of them again to re-trigger the macro

is there a way if I just let go only the latter one and press only the latter one again to retrigger the macro?

[pure salmon]

that would be tricky to code in, but with 1.2 may just be possible

[cinder gazelle]

Looking forward to that! Love you guys' work!

This is what I used for my final macro. Just letting ppl know, if anyone want to use it. After testing, the delays are not needed

[lofty pelican]

how can I get wootomation to use a f13-22 key as a trigger?

[pure salmon]

you can bind those keys in wootility and then press them

[lofty pelican]

my system was capturing them as shortcuts, it works now

is there any way to have them work as modifiers?

something like F22 + A as a trigger

[pure salmon]

not really as they aren't modifiers and not interpreted as such by the OS

[viral compass]

is there any way to add a macro for a key release ONLY?

[vivid pasture]

macros don't work when i'm holding any other button, can someone help?

[pure salmon]

the triggers need to be the only keys pressed

[remote shoal]

Fedora Workstation 39 Stable..... using the AppImage

it either does this or plain black window with no border or titlebar

[pure salmon]

yeah appimage didn't get much testing unfortunately, there are some issues i'm not yet onto fixing

will try to look into it

[remote shoal]

Oookkk ☺️

[viral compass]

anything on this?

[pure salmon]

hmmm

[viral compass]

also if-then automation would be an amazing feature

like if hotkey is pressed, then wait for this or that and then that triggers another automation

[pure salmon]

we originally had this feature sort of built in, and it still works i think. you can trigger another macro by just invoking the trigger key from within another macro

altho an if/then system would be significantly more complex and would verymuch depend on what could the conditions look for

[viral compass]

yeah it does but it doesnt have option select

which i understand would be difficult

[pure salmon]

hmm eventually we might come around to that and see if that works

im a bit afraid it would be way too complicated to use and things like AHK could be better for those cases

[elder blaze]

anyone know how to fix "Wootomation not responding"?

^if anyone knows please tag or message me, I'm on windows 10, have reinstalled Wootomation etc. It goes white and instantly says not responding when I open it

[pure salmon]

have you by any chance used any “debloaters” for windows and removed webview2?

[elder blaze]

I tried to download webview2 and it said I already have it installed. But yea I think I’ve ran some debloaters in the past

[pure salmon]

usually this happens if webview2 is missing and only to people who run these various random debloaters

[elder blaze]

I’ll try to download webview2 again in a bit and see if I get any results

[elder blaze]

@pure salmon so I found the problem, when running the webview2 installer you HAVE to run it as admin, or else it tells you it's already installed. windows is stupid, all working now

[pure salmon]

perfect!

[willow mirage]

thanks for letting us know, it will be useful for future reference

Wootomation FAQ

Q: Wootomation stopped responding?
A: Make sure you have WebView2 installed on your Windows install, several "debloater" scripts remove this component and it's a needed for Wootomation to work properly. You can download it here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/, make sure to run as admin!

Q: Macros don't work in game?
A: Since version 1.1 macros work in games, but games' anti cheats might block them out. We advise against using macros in games since they can trigger anti cheats and result in a ban. Use at your own risk.

Q: Hold to repeat and toggle macros?
A: This feature will come with version 1.2 as it's part of the scheduled backend rewrite, stay patient.

Last update: 14/03/2024

[blazing agate]

quick check, does anyone know if we will get firmware update for the wooting two/HE for the new features that's in wooting 80? like 8k hz polling & rappy snappy features?

[safe cloud]

Will wootomation ever store created macros on the onboard memory of the wooting? Or will it just be with the software running?

I would prefer just having it stored on the memory of a specific profile

[safe cloud]

Probably not as the micro controller is likely hardware limited to 1000hz

If a FW update could turn on 8k polling then a ton of older equipment would get FW updates for 8k polling

[willow mirage]

probably not, wootomation is it's own thing and not part of wootility at all

[safe cloud]

But it id made by Wooting, so hoping it does but shrug

[coral laurel]

Software/firmware update to make previous keyboards 8khz is not possible, this requires a hardware change (new PCBA)
However, all Lekker keyboards will get Rappy Snappy 🙂

Lekker keyboards are the Wooting 2HE, Wooting 2 Lekker Edition, Wooting 60HE, Wooting 80HE, and UwU

[pure salmon]

the actual storage part is a very interesting idea, however the execution would always require wootomation in that case

[safe cloud]

Dang, wouldve been super cool if wootamation integrated with onboard memory to execute the macros so we could use it on console

[safe cloud]

Was hoping we could use wootamation to build the macros, then store directly onto my wooting profile of choice

What is rappy snappy?

[pure salmon]

that sounds like cheating

[pure salmon]

rapid snappy is basically snappy joystick for movement keys (strafing mainly)

depending on which key is pressed further, that one is the one that takes precedence

[safe cloud]

It's a nice to have functionality to use for a lot of things that arent related to cheating on console, I game with a controller on Xbox but being able to hit a macro on wooting to automate tedious functions would be awesome. no different than using a macro on PC. I can mostly currently do this with DKS anyway, I was just hoping we could develop it more conveniently with wootamation and be able to use it on xbox

[safe cloud]

What makes that different than snappy joystick? I feel like I already have that?

[pure salmon]

we do but thats for analog input and not digital

[safe cloud]

Ohhh I see, when I do game on my pc with wooting I use analog in fortnite since it allows dual input

[heavy hinge]

Still no repeat while holding feature

[pure salmon]

thats a 1.2 feature

<@&490097707487330305> at here, #🎹│analog_midi_feedback and #🤖│community_dev too, just saw, sorry for bunch of pings

[ivory slate]

anyone have any issues with macros recently i've made two, and they seem to stop working

[cobalt saffron]

Currently the macro application does not work 100%, especially with the creation of macros and those things, we just have to wait for them to release update 1.2 where they will activate the advanced macros function... the date is uncertain, all that remains is to have patience and good faith that wooting improves this application at the level of other brands such as razer or corsair!

[pure salmon]

in what way? did the app restart fix it?

[half folio]

Is there a setting to allow multiple keys being pressed + macro working?

EX:
I press WASD + V (macro button) -> not working

[pure salmon]

not yet but it's been very much asked for so it's on the roadmap

[visual girder]

Is there a way to keep recording a sequence while tabbed into a different window? I am trying to make a macro to perform a task in Unreal and I need to be tabbed into the engine while recording it.

[pure salmon]

that is something i want to hotfix very soon

[halcyon locust]

am I able to change what "open file browser" opens in wootility?
Using wootomation, with the app open, it seems to only register my hotkey to open a file every so often not all the time

[pure salmon]

..hmm what are you opening?

[halcyon locust]

trying to use it to open a batch file that then opens an app

[pure salmon]

windows launches the app basically is how the open file feature works

[halcyon locust]

I can't open the app directly because it's got a qualifier in the directory when it launches I'm not sure if that's the correct term or not

if I try to open the file directly (an overwolf app) it will just open overwolf

[pure salmon]

hmm but maybe you can put the launch parameters in the file path

i guess that depends on what the batch file is doing

but still, it should launch without any issues really

[halcyon locust]

unfortunately I cannot, as wootomation just gets you to select the file, and then it will directly open that path without any parameters

[pure salmon]

hmm i wonder if ammending the path with parameters is even possible in this context

[halcyon locust]

hmm I just tried to make a macro to type A a few times

and it appears my wootomation is just not working

[halcyon locust]

not that I could work out, the batch file works because you can add the parameters to it, just yeah, wootomation is not working for me apparently

is there a troubleshoot guide/list or an FAQ or something for it not working

webview 2 is installed

[pure salmon]

hmm did you try restarting it?

[halcyon locust]

yessir

and it's been more than just today, so my pc will have restarted between occurances

[pure salmon]

well just making a simple ' type out abc' macro and trying it out in notepad should be enough to see if its working

[halcyon locust]

yeah it is not :(

[pure salmon]

but you can also send me the screenshot of the 'abc' macro and also the batch file open macro, i can take at least a short look at it

[halcyon locust]

it just randomly started working again...

t.t

[pure salmon]

hmm

[halcyon locust]

this has happened a few times now, mostly it works, but maybe 2/3 days a week it won't

[pure salmon]

hmmm

[halcyon locust]

yeah :/ are there applications that could interfere with how the macros work?

[short anchor]

Hello, Someone can help a french noob? 😅
I would like on one of my Wootility game profiles, I have a temporary Toggle on the C key: I press C, the key remains pressed for for example 5 seconds.
I've been told to use Wootomation, but I can't figure out how to get it to work the way I want it to.

[pure salmon]

possible but i have not encountered any of them

[pure salmon]

well this way you would get a recursive cycle

[halcyon locust]

I'll try and use the macro once every so often then and see if it doesn't work after opening anything

[pure salmon]

sure, please let me know if anything does interfere

[short anchor]

ok So the macro triggers the macro? and how to prevent it?

[pure salmon]

1.2 version will be able to differenciate between whether you or wootomation pressed a key, eliminating this issue altogether

[short anchor]

ok ok i'll be wait so. Thank you. Is-it soon?

[pure salmon]

i think it will take some while, it's gonna include the loop macros and on-hold macros as well

[short anchor]

I hope that one day, the toggle delay will be directly integrated into the wootility-lekker ^^

[pure salmon]

the 1.3 update is focused on that, but we haven't done 1.2 yet so it will take some time

[pure salmon]

no ETA yet

[river belfry]

why macros don't work in helldivers 2

[polar oxide]

Hi, could you please help me check the delivery status of my order? My order has not started shipping for a week, is this normal?

[halcyon smelt]

Helldivers AC specifically has the input type blocked because AHK got some attention on discussion boards due to people using it to do stratagems.

[pure salmon]

please write an email to [e-mail] if this takes longer. Note that no transit operations (be it DHL or warehouses) work during non-business days. Also, I'm a programmer, and am not able to check the specific order status. If you need more details, please write the email but note that it may take some time to get a reply. Also, this is the wootomation channel, not #1019755933959733258

[solemn fable]

anti cheat

[lilac sand]

@halcyon locust Yo, sry for the wild ping, just wanted to ask ya something after having read what u wrote regarding the issues.
When u say they don't work, do u mean that no matter what macro u run, nothing happens, as if they are off entirely?

Asking cause I do get that issue sometime, but have found a solution (although not a perfect one sigh and have also found one of the time it tend to happen for me, so I can avoid it (when I remember it )

[halcyon locust]

That's exactly what was happening

I haven't had that issue since, but I think it may have something to do with vanguard (valorant's anticheat) or another background task. So I disabled everything that wasn't essential and it appears to be working now

[lilac sand]

"solution" I've found is simply quitting our of wootility, (I have set settings so that it quits whne I close it down)
So when it happens, I need to open it up, then close it, then open it up again (so I see that it runs).
After that, it works fine again.

For me, I realized that it happens sometimes when I pause my music using the pause button on my headset. Sometimes it just doesn't pause the music (it ignores me entirely 😭 ) but if I try to use wootility macro after that, it just refuses to work

[pure salmon]

that would make sense. for one I don't have vanguard installed so I never got that issue. For the other, vanguard has kernel access, so it can see processes and disable key inputs as required. It would be aligned with the anticheat blocking suspicious tasks

[pure salmon]

tho this does sound interesting. Could you please make that an issue on our github?

[halcyon locust]

Hmmm interesting, I haven't used any other macros but I will keep in mind and try it after I use my media keys tomorrow

[lilac sand]

uhh, sure.... but how? xD

[pure salmon]

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-macros/issues/new/choose

[lilac sand]

u were too fast for me

😛

[pure salmon]

took me a while to google it 😄

you can also take a look at the wootomation.log

in %appdata%/wootomation

[lilac sand]

Now I just need to create acc first it seems

[pure salmon]

or even experiment with enablind the DEBUG flag in your system envvar to see if it actually executes the macros properly

ohh

[halcyon locust]

This was my thought too, I reinstalled wootomation and valorant and it appears to be playing nice now

[lilac sand]

Tried to reinstall wootomation myself, didn't work 😭 sad life

[halcyon locust]

I'll try with media functions and see if it keeps working

Maybe I just make my media functions a macro on wootomation as well 🤣

[pure salmon]

i wonder if the backend rewrite will help, i want to fix the deadkeys not working soon. that means digging deeper into the win32API, so if you can maybe try running wootomation with debug on, to see what the log looks like, maybe we can see when it crashes on the bg

i think this is the variable you need to set

its set in advanced system settings -> environmental variables -> USER VARIABLE -> NEW... and then variable is the MACRO_LOG_LEVEL and value is DEBUG

after that wootomation will log everything to the .log file

[halcyon locust]

Is there a remind me function on discord? Not home for another like 18 hours and I'll likely forget t.t

Oh I'll just put it in my calendar that works

[lilac sand]

This + add issue on hithub?

github*

[pure salmon]

sure

[minor pawn]

Hey, is there an option for Hold to repeat and toggle repeat yet? And also something for mouse position on sreen?

[willow mirage]

Repeat should come in version 1.2; no plans about mouse position I am afraid @pure salmon

[minor pawn]

Oh sad, I hope this will come somewhat soon then

But getting repeat is nice

[amber ginkgo]

Hey!
Is it any way to add loop macro on key pressed? (key pressed => play macro, key released => stop macro)

Oh\

see question above

[amber ginkgo]

Is it approximate release date for 1.2.0?

[pure salmon]

no ETA yet, focusing on bugfixes & 80HE first rn

[amber ginkgo]

Ok, thanks!

[halcyon locust]

my macros definitely don't work with valorant open, and if I try to use it with val open, then close val, they will not work until I restart wootomation (some of the time)

[pure salmon]

this sounds as if vanguard kills it

[halcyon locust]

mmm yes it seems to

just not all the time - I just had valorant open and the macros didn't work, I closed it and tried a few minutes later and they work

this was without restarting wootomation or ANY other apps

[pure salmon]

id need to see the log in debug mode for that

[halcyon locust]

ok I have just found a recreatable occurance but it doesn't log anything on failure

if I have the riot client itself open it just won't activate a macro

[pure salmon]

yeah so most likely its just blocked

[halcyon locust]

open and selected* if I minimise it it will open the macro

[autumn flint]

Is there a way to add a variable delay? like delay 20ms-30s between presses?

[pure salmon]

no because the only feasible use for this is to circumvent anticheats

[autumn flint]

fair enough. I am trying to make my hotkey alternate between 3 different keys with each press. so X = num1 then x=num2. so each press is one key, just alternating.

[covert vector]

Hi, how can I create a repeating macro while holding a button. For example when I hold mb5 I can spam F repeatedly

[torpid barn]

question

how do i disable 1 key

[shy lotus]

wha

on a wooting or what

[torpid barn]

yeah

is that even possible?

[shy lotus]

well not with wootomation

just either unmap it in wootility or put a keylock on an FN layer at the same position and then press fn+key lock to lock or unlock it

[torpid barn]

thank you

[granite horizon]

hi, anyone knows why woomation never respond at launch and keep crashing at launch ?

[pure salmon]

did you use a tweaker for windows to “debloat”?

[shy lotus]

youre best served in #1019755933959733258 this channel is for wootomation specifically

[granite horizon]

I don't know, I guess i didn't change anything except registry

[wise bluff]

Thanks !

[granite horizon]

Nvm, yes i used optimizer to remove things

[pure salmon]

yeah you need to reinstall windows webview v2

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/

[granite horizon]

@pure salmon Working now, thanks to you :D

[pure salmon]

[hallow ether]

Trying to set up Marcos for Helldivers 2 stratagems. I set the trigger key to 1 but don't seem to get any response in game. Macro L-CTRL down> D press> W press> S press> S press> D press> L-ctrl up which should activate the rail gun on the game.

[amber frost]

Is there some odd functionality I should be aware of with the alt key? I can bind with the alt key just fine via recording, but then when I try to use the macro nothing happens (e.g., press Alt 1 and nothing is output, not even 1). If I use no modifiers or different modifiers (e.g. shift + control + 1), it works just dandy. Using a Wooting 2 HE with all the stuff updated.

[amber frost]

It could be Helldivers specific- apparently they have a lot of anti-cheat stuff that can interfere with things. E.G. Somebody was saying that they could not use a foot pedal peripheral as that got flagged as "outside interference". I know I encountered some issues like that when doing stuff with REWASD.

[hallow ether]

Thanks for the info.

[coral laurel]

This is indeed getting blocked by Helldiver's anti cheat

[vapid sparrow]

Dang, I thought I just couldnt get it to work...

[visual girder]

<@&490097707487330305>

Same here #🎹│analog_midi_feedback

[small phoenix]

hey, I made an macro for tekken but sometimes it just doesnt want to work

why is that can anyone help me out?

when is the release date of 1.2 of wootomation

[shy lotus]

most likely the games anticheat

[shy lotus]

no ETA

[small phoenix]

rip

[small phoenix]

it works, but sometimes idk if im doing the macro wrong, or it just holds down button after using the macro, either that or I have to click another random button to "release" and make it work again

[shy lotus]

yes which is most likely related to the anticheat

or the game has really poor input handling but i somehow would doubt that for a fighter game

[small phoenix]

its not that, it works now, I had to rerecord and make it a lil different

game has to be focused tho

I wish it had a repeat function with delay, cant wait for the update

@shy lotus btw is it possible to bind a macro to a key but it activates only when a certain actuation point is reached? For example binding walking and running to one button?

[shy lotus]

sounds more like you want DKS for your example

[small phoenix]

DKS? is that an already in the app?

[shy lotus]

its in wootility

[small phoenix]

is there a guide, I couldnt find it

[shy lotus]

its under advanced keys and means dynamic key stroke where you have 4 points during a travel at which you can have any of 4 keys pressed

https://help.wooting.io/article/99-how-to-use-dks

[small phoenix]

Thank you !!

[small phoenix]

btw I know what the issue was for my problem earlier, the button I binded the macro was intervening with a button bound ingame to a key

which caused issues

[shy lotus]

yeah well the general reason why a macro wouldnt work or only sometimes work (without any game specific reasons) is anticheat usually as unsurprisingly most online games list macros as a banable offense

[small phoenix]

I see, but tekken is a game, they dont have anything against macros as far as I know it, many high rank players use it afaik

[shy lotus]

id be willing to bet on the tekken ToS/EULA including macros being forbidden

[small phoenix]

it probably is, but nobody has been banned because of it, as long as they dont use it in tournaments

[shy lotus]

because it comes down to having a proof. could tekken implement a better anticheat and one day ban everyone? sure. will that happen? who knows.

the warning is clear for anyone to see and people accept the risk for themselves

either way it is the only real game independant reasona macro wouldnt work

wait no if something uses the direct keyboard input then macros also wouldnt work as the game would ignore windows key events and only reads the keyboard keys

[small phoenix]

Hmm ig, but for now its working and im fine with that

although for fortnite id like to know if they have something against macros

[shy lotus]

most online games do as mentioned

[small phoenix]

I see

[shy lotus]

they almost all of the time fall under a simple rule of 1 key press = 1 action

theres a lot ofedge cases though and youd need to read the EULA/ToS of the game

[small phoenix]

dont need to, I can already see all competetive non mmo/rpg games prohibit it

Ill just have to see how big the punishment is, temp ban/ perma ban/ hwid ban etc

[shy lotus]

even mmos disallow it

[small phoenix]

damn

[lime copper]

Hello, is anyone else having issues creating macros? Their not working for me

[lime copper]

Nevermind I know y it's not working.... no repeat option... looking to repeat space bar

[halcyon smelt]

Yeah, I believe I read loops were coming in the next big update, that would at least let this replace things like Synapse for me when it does finally come

[lime copper]

Does synapse work on any keyboard?

[visual girder]

Como hacer que una tecla tenga dos funciones andar y correr

[nocturne yew]

Anyone here made some interesting automation, macros, etc... for MW3 (CoD)?

Just sitting down to actually consider the convenience choices (going to do some searches here).

[lime oyster]

fortnite is very against macros as people use them for editing

its even bannable in creative mode iicr

not sure how many get caught though

[pure salmon]

its cheating and eula breach

its like dopping in sports

[regal sail]

Is there a way to make Wootomation not pass-through the trigger key?

I want to use it to remap CapsLock but it keeps toggling my caps every time I press it :|

[coral laurel]

Rebind Capslock in Wootility to something like F24 and use that as your trigger

[loud flicker]

Is there a way for a key to be repeated either by holding it down or a toggle? Trying to set a key to repeat Mouse 1 rapidly

[pure salmon]

1.2 will bring that feature

[loud flicker]

Awesome, ty

[lime copper]

When?

[fossil horizon]

have you guys fixed the macro issue just not being good or customizable?

[pure salmon]

care to elaborate?

[pure salmon]

its gonna take a while, rn i focus on 80HE

[knotty orbit]

you cand do it in minecraft for right clicking a bell..... i miss Technoblade

[lime copper]

Rip lol.... was hoping it would come by the time i receive my 80HE. I stopped using the 60he because of that reason.... i pulled back out the other day hoping i can switch of the Steelseries Apex pro.... : ( But i appreciate the update... Keep up the good work!

[junior pasture]

anyone else having an issue with the wootomation app when recording a sequence? It seems to be registering some keys incorrectly for me. (While the keys work fine everywhere else)
The M key registers as a ,
The , key registers as a .
The . key doesn't register anything
The key cluster in the attached image seems to be the ones in question

I still have the same issue with wootomation when binding those specific keys elsewhere

[pure salmon]

what layout are you using?

[junior pasture]

default bindings with 60HE+

ANSI

[pure salmon]

and windows language?

operating system?

[junior pasture]

Windows Language: English (United States)
Operating System: Windows 11 Enterprise (Version 23H2)

[pure salmon]

the keyboard layout tho? US ENGLISH? US INTN?

still this is weird, i haven't really noticed this issue

[junior pasture]

I believe it is US ENGLISH QWERTY

[pure salmon]

interesting

i haven't noticed anyone with this issue, but i can try later today myslef if there is some weird edgecase there

tho i have used those keys as well...

any other software running that could interfere?

[junior pasture]

I don't think so

Wootomation can still recognize those keys (in the form of naming the macros and collections)
But it seems to only happen when recording trigger keys or a sequence

It's not a major issue or anything though
Just though I'd point it out

Sounds like it's something very specific causing it though 😅

[pure salmon]

there might have just been a mishap of converting the entire table of keys and i may have shifted them by one to left there

i will definitely take a look

[junior pasture]

thank you :)
appreciate the work you do

[pure salmon]

np 😄 its just i have a lot of 80HE stuff at the moment

if i find the issue out, i'll fix it in the 1.1.1 that's awaiting now already

[junior pasture]

yessir no problem! please take your time
looking forward to the 80he launch :)

[glass spruce]

Whenever i use wootomation and im pressing wasd and i press my macro keybind it doesnt work

It only works when i just press the macro by itself

It seens like the other keystrokes is confusing the software?

I think the keycombos feature might be the cause of h tg is

This thinking im trying to use a keycombo macro when im not

it seems like it does that when i hold down another key

such as like w becvause im holding down w and then i pres the macro key

i hope theres a way to disable keycombo macros or something to prevent this issue or just a fix

[pure salmon]

its deliberatly made so you need to only press the only key, not including any other keys

i have this feature already in github suggestions, will take a look in 1.2 at this

[glass spruce]

okay ty

because its made the macro pretty shit for me

[pure salmon]

yeah for some users it's not the best

the limitation was there to prevent cycling but now i have a way of differentiating macro from app vs user

[glass spruce]

any idea on when 1.2 would be out or not yet

[pure salmon]

not yet, fully focusing on 80HE stuff rn

[river lichen]

does anyone know how to make wootamation click 2 buttons at once?

[pure salmon]

you just remove the delay between presses, and set them to press/release manually

[river lichen]

can I get an example and what about holding a button down?

[fathom gale]

Sigh... I have no idea how to make a macro actually work... even the only guide on it on Youtube is not helpful. I can make it, but clicking the trigger to call it doesn't work.

[fathom gale]

The wootility app, just in general, seems to have problems assigning advanced keys to the numpad. I can see, in the output, that 'end' and down arrow, etc. are showing up... they sure as hell shouldn't be; the num lock is on. This is true when pressing them in the fn layer with DKS, anyway. By itself, it's fine. Not to mention it seems like it never lets go of the 'end' button when held... holy hell.

It doesn't seem to like the shift key...

[pure salmon]

i think you'll want #📰│wootility_updates for this

[fathom gale]

I did go off on a bit of a tangent there--but still, I have not been able to get wootomation to do anything for me. I've tried opening the app as an administrator, made sure the collection and macro are enabled, set the trigger, etc. It does absolutely nothing. I've just set a few macros to open directories and made an attempt to have it open a website, just to test, and they're all failures. I've rebooted my PC and everything--nothing works.

[pure salmon]

could you try without the ALT? in the trigger

[fathom gale]

I set it to just 'W' and it seems like it kinda works. Most of the time, it won't work if I don't have the browser actively selected. That's better than before, when it did nothing.

Hmm... it seems sketchy with what it likes. I tried LShift and LControl and it works, but RShift and RControl do nothing.

[pure salmon]

interesting

i know there are some issues with left alt remaining

because of the way windows does stuff

[fathom gale]

That may be a part of my issue. I was using the right side for a lot of my triggers.

[pure salmon]

but the right side should be working just fine tbh

tho i dont think anyone ever used it as such yet, so maybe there are some issues

will note this down in the issue board

[fathom gale]

... Okay, I changed it to the right side--and, now, the left side isn't working.

[pure salmon]

what the

[fathom gale]

I can't win. It seems to only work intermittently, and for no apparent reason. I set it back to what was working after the other thing failed. But it's not working, either.

Okay, so if I use the trigger combination, while in the wootomation app, it'll do nothing. If I target some place else, it might work. There are a ton of trigger combinations that won't work.

[pure salmon]

if you can maybe list some of them, i can test them later and see why

[fathom gale]

Things with shift and alt. Ideally, I'd make it require fn in it. I made it more complex, so it wouldn't trigger accidentally.

[pure salmon]

alt will not work properly

[fathom gale]

It's not possible for fn.

[pure salmon]

it cnat trigger with other keys pressed, the comaprison is perfect

[fathom gale]

Thanks for the replies. I'm done with this, for now.

[split zenith]

Hi, i plan to buy a wooting keeb. Is it possible to save all macros and edited keystrokes like Mod Tap to internal memory? Like to save some text templates to the keyboard and if i use it at work in office without install any software (guest pc/Data Policy no option to install anything).

For example FN + Q = Texttemplate
Or Long Press C for copy and tap c for regular c key

[pure salmon]

some of the features can be fulfilled by DKS or rebinding of keys (layers), which are saved on the keyboard, but some advanced macro features that require OS and bg app to run to execute them can't be saved on the keyboard (Wootomation macros)

[split zenith]

Thank you very much for your answer

[pure salmon]

no problem 😄

[shut forge]

Anyone know how to find the kana key to bind to a key?

Or is it layout specific?

[sterile oasis]

Hello I have just installed Wootomation to create a macro but I have a problem: how to configure the trigger keys with only one key (which is not the mouse) example press shift this activates "a" + "e" Thank you 'advance

[pure salmon]

shift is a modifier key and can't be used for a trigger alone, its a limitation to ensure the problem space for searching possbile keys is fast enough to keep in the 0.2 microsecond delay range

[sterile oasis]

ok thx

[dry tinsel]

i need some help

and what it does is:

just pressing alt 7 to 0

but it doesnt execute

[pure salmon]

try CTRL instead of alt

[dry tinsel]

i just did it and it doesnt execute

[pure salmon]

oh

ofc yeah because alt handling is probably broken

i need to take a look at that and will with 1.2

[dry tinsel]

i changed it to trigger key 6

but it still doesnt execute

[pure salmon]

try to restart wootomation

wait are you using this in-game?

[dry tinsel]

yeah

789789789

so i dont know what happend but it works now

[pure salmon]

yes, version 1.3 is planned for macos

[mossy sphinx]

hey i used wootomation for a macro but when i press any key it wont let me use it
how do i change that?

[willow mirage]

That's the currently intended behavior, David has mentioned that he will allow this functionality in the future releases, but there's no ETA for now

[safe cloud]

Any chance we can get wootamation to store the macros on the wooting itself

[pure salmon]

i dont think this is planned

[fervent otter]

I want to make it so when I press q, it left clicks a half second before it hits the q key. is there a way to do this with wootomation without the macro going into an endless loop?

[versed magnet]

hello there, tried to run this but for some odd reason once i do i can't click on anything on my pc anyone have any ideas?

[pure salmon]

try adding a small 20ms delay between the press and release of each mouse button

[versed magnet]

will do, appreciate the help

[pure salmon]

self-loop protection is coming in 1.2 but you should try experimenting with delays a bit or try to not have self-loop keys in the macro

[versed magnet]

is it also possible to have the macro trigger even if i'm pressing other buttons?

kind of didnt seem like i could get that to happen

or have multiple keys as the trigger key like w and x for instance

[pure salmon]

not yet but its been asked for and i will definitely add that

[versed magnet]

really appreciated, thanks

i also tried the same macro on a g915 and it seems to work even without the delay between right click

so it may (or may not) be an issue with the software itself?

wil try different delays and let you know if anything changes i suppose

[visual root]

does wootomation have mouse scroll wheel up/down commands? They aren't in wootility and this is the only thing I'm still running autohotkey for

[visual girder]

how can i make a macro toggle?

[pure salmon]

not yet but that is something i'll work on

[pure salmon]

1.2 will bring that feature

[hazy beacon]

Is there a source file that i can copy so that i can port macros between computers?

[pure salmon]

in %appdata%/wootomation there should be the macros file

or %appdata%/wooting-macros

[visual root]

Awesome! Would you be able to implement that into wootility keymaps as well? or is there somewhere else I should make that request?

[pure salmon]

i think you should request that feature separatel on the wootility-issues github repo

[visual root]

Will do, thanks!

[dull plaza]

Any idea on the development timeline for repeating macros while a particular key is being pushed? Both Azeron and Razer have this software feature already and it’s incredibly useful.

[pure salmon]

currently very focused on 80HE things so a while

[compact kelp]

how can I stop my macro while running ?

[pure salmon]

not yet possible but will be implementable after 1.2 arrives

[lunar charm]

my macros arent working sometimes but everything is activated. Maybe someone can help

everything should be activated

[pure salmon]

maybe caps lock is causing some issues as the trigger key? some people reported it does, others said its no problem

[lunar charm]

i have to restart everytime 😦

[pure salmon]

weird

i think once 1.2 arrives a lot of the current backend bugs will be fixed or behave differently

[compact kelp]

Do you know when the 1.2 will arrive approximately ?

[compact kelp]

Yes I have the same problem I have to restart

That the only solution I found

[pure salmon]

not yet, im fully busy on the 80HE

[frank flume]

anyone know how to get your macro on wootimation on repeat?

[pure salmon]

that's coming in 1.2

[lofty pelican]

Wootomation uses 24% of my r5 7600 running in the background with no shortcuts bound (arch linux). waht is going on here?

[pure salmon]

hm thats very strange, do you have any non-standard input setup?

[lofty pelican]

not that im aware of

just the wooting and a mouse connected

with pretty much a standard typing profile

the window is also unresponsive

I dont use wootomation, I just tinkered around with it once

[remote shoal]

uh... ;-;

Download the AppImage and this happened

[pure salmon]

yeah.. im not sure if the appimage works properly

noone ever used it ever tbh

we do have na AUR package as well by someone? i think?

[pure salmon]

interesting

[remote shoal]

AUR is cool and all but im no longer on Arch :P I got Fedora since last year

hence using the AppImage

[pure salmon]

ahh

imma look into it more sometime

[remote shoal]

😢

[pure salmon]

but its mostly tauri that makes the packaging..

its automatic the process, i can't really change many things there i think

[remote shoal]

never built an AppImage before, so idk how tf it works 😅

[pure salmon]

apparently from what i looked noone really does XD but i'll try to see if theres smth to be done about it

maybe just missing the proper permissions

[remote shoal]

Oh hmmm
Could also be my udev rules
I didn't think to check if the OS upgrade may have removed them or not

[cold mason]

when will 1.2 arrive to be able to use a macro key with another key like wasd?

[pure salmon]

currently very busy with 80HE, as soon as I finish major work on that, I'll try to finish the 1.2 up

[kind fox]

I'm trying to make two different macros, one that holds key X and releases key Y, and another that holds yet Y and releases key X. For some reason I can't get it to work. Any advice?

[sand bolt]

pickup

[pure salmon]

no not yet unfortunately

[pure salmon]

i will try, but please remember the 80HE comes first rn

still modtapping implies this feature could be tied to the firmware

[pure salmon]

well if its firmware we have full hands rn with 80HE and such

so please dont expect this soon

[hazy beacon]

I don’t find that the win/super/command key works for me in wootomation. But the win key works fine in the key maps. Is there a fix/work-around for wootomation?

[pure salmon]

likely because the keys are grabbed as OS specific shortcuts most of the time

and wootomation doesn't override those

[fathom gale]

This is my biggest problem with Wootomation. It works like 5% of the time... probably less.

[pure salmon]

in games or in regular use?

[fathom gale]

Regular use. It 's like the longer my PC is on, the less likely the macro will work. Ever since I installed it, it struggles to work properly.

On occasion, it will work without a hitch. A few minutes later, not so much.

[pure salmon]

1.2 should fix a lot of these issues i think

[fathom gale]

That sounds awesome--I look forward to it.
