#13 [POLL] Should Arvo macro playback behaviour be changed to behave like on Windows?

[Stefan Achatz]

I'm asking myself Which macro playback behaviour would the Linux users prefer?

Normal Windows behaviour is as follows:

• Pressing a macro key starts the assigned macro
• While the macro is running:
  • Pressing the same button stops this macro
  • Pressing another button with macro assigned stops the running macro and starts the new one

Pro: This behaviour would allow me to implement a "Macro play/pause" button like the Isku has. This button lets you pause a macro until pressed again.

Actual Linux behaviour:

• Pressing a macro key starts the assigned macro
• While the macro is running:
  • Pressing the same button stops this macro
  • Pressing another button with macro assigned starts the second macro in parallel

Pro: You can have up to 5 macros running in parallel, each be stopped individually.

So the question is: Should I change the actual behaviour to Windows mode and implement a play/pause setting? Please vote and/or post a comment.

I have no strong preference since i have not yet used macros, but it seems to me that having two macros running in paralel is of limited use.
