Recording in QHuman

QHuman records every kind of mouse and keyboard input you'd expect, but only some sources are on by default. This guide covers the controls.

Record your first click

Hit Record on the toolbar or press Ctrl+F9 from anywhere. QHuman captures your input until you press Stop or Ctrl+Alt+S. The recording lands as a new sub-sequence in the editor's Sequences list.

What gets recorded by default

Out of the box QHuman records mouse movement and clicks. Scroll and keystrokes are off until you turn them on under Settings → Recording.

Record keyboard input

Open Settings → Recording and check Record keyboard. From the next recording on, every keystroke joins the action table alongside your mouse moves. Useful for fill-the-form macros and game key sequences.

Record mouse scroll

Same place: Settings → Recording → Record scroll. Scroll-wheel events get their own rows in the action table and replay at their captured speed.

Build a macro from multiple recordings

Each Record / Stop cycle appends a sub-sequence to the macro you're editing; it doesn't start a new macro. Stack as many sub-sequences as you want, then use the checkboxes in the Sequences list to control which ones get saved into the bundle.

The recording floating indicator

While you record, QHuman shows a small always-on-top window with a live action count and a Stop button. Drag it anywhere you like; the position is saved between launches.

Cancel a recording without saving

Press Stop (or Ctrl+Alt+S) to end the recording, then hit Clear on the toolbar before you Save. Nothing lands in your macro library until you explicitly save — and as a quiet safety net, every take is copied to History the moment you stop, so even a cleared recording can be brought back.

Hide vs show the main window while recording

The main window hides while recording so it stays out of your way. Turn that off under Settings → Recording if you'd rather watch the action table populate live.

Trim the dead start

There's always a gap between pressing Record and your first action. By default QHuman drops it: Settings → Recording → Trim leading idle time before the first action is ticked, so playback starts immediately instead of replaying the run-up. Pauses between your recorded actions are preserved exactly as you performed them — only the prelude goes. Untick it if you genuinely want that lead-in kept.
