can a macro know how it was invoked or recieve arguments?
Question:
1) Is it possible to determine from within a macro what keyboard combination was used to trigger the macro?

2) If no to number 1 above, is there a way to pass an argument into a macro that is tied to a keyboard combination under "My Macros"? The idea is to be able to create a single macro that responds differently depending on what keyboard combo was used to trigger it.

If the answer is no to all of the above, no problem, I can make multiple macros -- one for each key combination, just thought I would ask.

Cheers

Sorry, no to both. You can make multiple macros.
