mgSimplify Feature List

Some key features of mgSimplify are:

Mouse actions can be made relative to a window so that if the target window moves or is resized, the recorded actions still click on the desired region.
Mouse actions can be made relative to any part of a window so tasks like resizing a window to an odd size are very easily automated.
Easily switch between programs by pressing a keystroke you can remember. Pressing +w can invoke your word processor. +s can invoke your spreadsheet.
MgSimplify supports the Microsoft Windows logo key, , found on newer keyboards.
Macros can be either specific to a particular program or globally accessible. This feature allows context sensitive macros so that alt+m might mean "check the mail" in an email program and could mean "magnify the selected region" in a paint program.
Macros can invoke other macros. This feature makes it easy to put together complex sequences by first making smaller sub macros.
Macros can be edited. A short macro can have additional actions added to it and long macros can be shortened.
Delays can easily be added where needed. Delays can be useful if your macro needs to wait for a window to open before proceeding.
Windows can be resized to fit a screen or fit within another window with a single keystroke. Want a window to grow as tall as possible? Point your mouse at the window and press , +Alt+t and the window will grow vertically but retain its current width.

Supports NT 4.0 and NT 5.0 (beta).
One keystroke can both open and optionally, minimize an application.
Can override an application that interferes with mgSimplify
Need to temporarily pause a macro so you can type something or look up a reference? Insert a "Wait for keyboard" pause.
A side effect of the "Wait for keyboard" feature is you can temporarily disable mgSimplify so it will ignore hotkeys.
