Macro Edit: Democratizing Automation

• capitalsigma 5y ago
  "Democratize" is a surprising way to spell "write it in our in-house lisp dialect."

    Get your point, though from a user's pov everything is done in a gui; the article reveals the lisp only "in case you're curious."

    FWIW Nyxt is written in Common Lisp, not in an “in-house” one.

  I've fantasized about building a tool that sits in the background and watches the user do their work. When the tool detects a repeated sequence of actions, it pops up a GUI prompting the user to automatically turn them in to a macro. I want this to work on the OS level, not just within a single app, because I suspect it would be most useful orchestrating work between multiple apps. Has anyone found a tool like that?

  The commoner was lost at the mention of a ”buffer”.
