# Macro Recording and Playback
Diakonos has a macro system that allows you to record nearly any series of
commands and play them back. At the same time, advanced users may wish to
consider employing Diakonos' powerful Ruby scripting capabilities to leverage
their programming knowledge to manipulate text more directly.
## Recording a Macro
If necessary, move the cursor to the desired place before beginning to record.
Press <Alt-M> to begin recording a macro. Type any sequence of keystrokes or
keychords. When you are finished entering the sequence, press <Alt-M> again
to stop recording.
## Playing the Recorded Macro
After a macro is recorded, move the cursor to the spot where you wish to begin
executing the macro. Press <F4> to play the recorded macro.
## Saving Macros
Diakonos currently has no facility to save macros for future playback. If you
want this feature in Diakonos, please visit the Diakonos technical support
channel and voice your request.
