Hi, I wondered if there is a way to reorganize my macro buttons.

I created buttons but then removed a few and there are blank buttons. Can I move macro buttons to organize the button that have mapping ?

Please advise
Thanks

no way to physically remove the blank ones or rearrange easily

but the trick I found is to open the config file in a text editor
and then just go and manually number all the ones you have to fit the layout you are using

you can pre-plan on paper to make it easier
and then stretch the window to fit your size 4x3 5x5 etc
then save the layout

the settings are in an xml file
I like to use motepad++ to edit them

its setup as an 8x8
so if you only want to use a 5x5 on screen then you need to know that
1-5 is your first row(6/7/8 not displayed)
9-13 is your second row(14/15/16 not displayed)
17-21 is your third row (22/23/24 not displayed)
and so forth and so on

the xml looks something like this
I bolded the part you would change to map to where you want
(It stands out better if you are looking in an editor like notepad++

Code: Select all

yes, you can re-arrange buttons in the XML file, but you must keep "index" consistent.
