📋 How to Use

Recording

• Press F1 or click "Start Recording"

• Perform your mouse and keyboard actions

• Press F1 again when finished

• The event counter shows how many actions were captured

Playback

• Press F2 or click "Play Recording"

• Adjust speed with the slider if needed

• Enable "Loop playback" for continuous repetition

• Press F3 to stop at any time

File Operations

• Save: Export your recording as a .json file

• Load: Import a previously saved recording

• Clear: Delete the current recording

💡 Tips & Tricks

• Perfect for repetitive tasks: Data entry, form filling, testing applications

• Cross-application automation: Start recording in one app, switch to another

• Speed adjustment: Use slower speeds (0.5x) for precise actions, faster (2.0x) for bulk operations

• Loop mode: Great for stress testing or continuous monitoring tasks

• Emergency stop: F3 or Ctrl+ESC always work, even during loop playback

📁 File Format

Recordings are saved as JSON files containing:

• Mouse coordinates and timing

🐛 Troubleshooting

Recording doesn't work in some applications:

• Try running as administrator

• Some games and security software block input automation

Antivirus blocking the program:

Hotkeys not working:

• Make sure the program is running

• Check if another application is using the same hotkeys

Playback seems off:

• Adjust playback speed

• Some applications may handle input differently than when recorded
