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.

The action edit dialog for a recorded action
Double-click an action to edit its fields.

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.

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; to change one action, edit or delete it.)

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.
