0.5.0 - macros, for the sequence you type every time

inputconsole

Some things you type on a target are always the same. Getting into a BIOS and walking to the boot order. Logging into an installer. The five keystrokes at the start of an unattended install.

Macros do that in one click. A macro is a short script of three kinds of line:

  • key ctrl+alt+f2 - press a key chord;
  • type root - type text, through the target's own keyboard layout;
  • delay 500 - wait half a second, because firmware menus need a moment.

Save it with a name in the Input panel and it appears as a button. Macros live on the device, not in the browser, so they are there from whatever computer you open the console on.
