mouse macro I find macro recording as it is, to be tedious.

Hi there! 

This is my first post here, but I have used ICUE for the past year. I want to suggest a couple of ideas to improve the macro recording process..

Goal: Record mouse positions via user defined hotkey

Current problem: Mouse movement recording uses relative motion, which:

1. You CLICK the record button, the user has to then navigate away from ICUE, adding unnecessary actions within the macro, regardless of if you Alt + Tab, or move the mouse at all.
2. If you do any extended action it is near impossible to edit anything specific in the list of 10's of thousands of actions. 

Here are my suggestions:

 

1. Add an option where the user can enter a user defined hotkey, to start and stop recording actions.
2. Instead of relative mouse motion, use a user defined hotkey (can be on click) to record absolute mouse positions.

I don't know if this post will get any attention, but for anyone who read this please share your thoughts, and if I need to clarify anything just ask!
