Combine macros
Stitch macros together with chains (per-macro flow) or playlists (a named group under one hotkey).
Video walkthrough on the way
This topic's video is in production. The written guide below covers everything for now.
QHuman has two ways to play multiple macros under one trigger. A chain attaches followers to a single macro; a playlist is a named ordered group with its own hotkey. The two compose: a playlist member that has its own chain plays the chain inline before the next member fires.
Chain a macro to others
Use a chain when one macro always leads into others, and the flow is the same every time.
- Select the starting macroClick it in the left list. The right pane loads its sub-sequences.
- Open the Chain tabIn the right-pane tab strip, switch to Chain. Hint: "Plays the listed macros in order AFTER this macro's own sequences finish."
- Add macros to the chainPick from the Add dropdown and click Add. Reorder with Up / Down (or drag); Remove drops the selected row.
- ApplyPlaying the starting macro now plays its own actions first, then each chained macro in order. A macro can't chain to itself; deeper cycles are bounded by a runtime depth cap.
Create a playlist
Use a playlist when you want a named group of macros that don't otherwise relate, like "morning routine" or "stream warm-up."
- Open the Hotkeys dialogClick Hotkeys on the top toolbar. Two tabs: All hotkeys and Playlists.
- Switch to Playlists, click NewThe new-playlist dialog opens with fields for Name, Hotkey, and member list.
- Name it and bind a hotkeyGive it a name (e.g.
morning_routine) and capture a hotkey. The hotkey fires the playlist; it's independent of any member's own hotkey. - Add members in play orderPick macros from the member picker and add them. Reorder as needed.
- SavePress the bound hotkey to play it. Each member fires in order, with its individual chain running inline.
When to use which
- Use a chain when macro A's purpose is to lead into B and C. The flow is fixed; you reuse A as part of larger routines by extending its chain.
- Use a playlist when you want to bundle unrelated macros under one hotkey, name them as a group, or trigger several saved macros without coupling them to each other.
Free vs Pro limits
Good to know: playlists live in their own storage area and don't count against the 5-macro cap. On Free you can keep one playlist and one chained macro, enough to try both. QHuman Pro lifts those to unlimited, alongside the macro cap. See pricing.
