No, the macro maker actually records the state of the key (up or down), so
you can record keycombinations.

This is I think a lot better!

That would make things a lot easier and faster yes!
For now, next time I can try to create a macro with the keystroke and 'v'. 
That would ease things up, and is not spitting out a bunch of keystrokes ;o)

I will next time, which of course I hope will never happen again!
