Editing recorded actions

A recording isn't locked in. QHuman's editor lets you tune any action (position, button, delays) and reorder, rename, or drop the parts you don't want.

Read the action table

Each row in the action table is one recorded action: index, time, type (click, move, key, text, scroll), and a detail column with the specifics. Select a sub-sequence in the list above to load its actions here.

Edit one action

Double-click any row to open the Action Edit dialog. Common fields are visible by default: position, button, duration. Hit Show more for the advanced tier: mouse offset, replay count, ignore position, and ignore duration.

Edit multiple actions at once

Select several rows, right-click Edit…, and the multi-edit dialog opens. Per-field checkboxes gate the bulk apply, so only what you tick gets changed across the selection. Useful for shifting a batch of clicks by an offset, or normalising delays.

Insert new actions

The table isn't limited to what the recording captured. Right-click any row and pick Insert above or Insert below: the Action Edit dialog opens pre-filled with a copy of the nearest row, so adjust the fields and OK drops the new action into that spot. Right-clicking the empty space under the last row offers Append new action, which does the same at the end.

Press and release rows (clicks and key presses) get one extra entry: Insert matching release on a press, Insert matching press on a release. No dialog here; it writes the partner half right next to the row, same position and key, same timestamp. That's the one-click fix when the editor flags an unpaired press or release; the pair plays back as an instant click or key press, so double-click either row afterwards if it needs retiming.

Reorder sequences

Drag a row in the Sequences list to move it. Each recorded sequence plays top to bottom, so reordering them reorders the routine, no re-recording needed. (Rows inside the action table itself can't be dragged; edit, insert, or delete rows instead.)

Delete an action vs delete the macro

The Delete button (or Del) is scope-aware. With a row focused in the action table, it removes that action from the editor only. With a macro focused in the left list, it deletes the saved macro from disk. The History dialog recovers either if needed.

Rename a sub-sequence

Double-click a sub-sequence's name in the Sequences list to rename it inline. Defaults like sequence_1, sequence_2 become whatever describes the step.

Add notes to a sub-sequence

The Notes field next to the action table saves free-form text with the sub-sequence. Handy for documenting what the recording does, what app it targets, or any quirks that future-you will forget.

Choose which sub-sequences are saved

Each row in the Sequences list has a checkbox. Only the checked rows are written into the saved macro bundle, so uncheck a sub-sequence to exclude it without deleting it from the editor.
