Description

I prefer using a gamepad for tasing nowadays and was wondering if its possible to have a set of keys binded to a hotkey?

So for instance:
frame 1 Touch X at 117
frame 2 Touch X at 118
frame 3 Touch X at 119 > set to a hotkey

So when you press the hotkey you bind, it would paste those inputs into tasstudio. Or just to the movie input file itself. This would be useful for aiming in some ds games that require the touch screen.

Research direction

Start by locating TASStudio's hotkey, input-binding, and movie-input entry points, then check how macro sequences are represented. The issue names no specific files or tests; done would mean a defined way to bind a macro sequence and insert it through the requested hotkey.
