The problem there is that every application needs to implement a macro recorder, and every application needs to implement history and undo. With small programs that all handle text the shell takes care of history and automation, while the other programs can focus on solving a new problem.
Why have macros and history reimplemented badly by every application when one application could do it well?
- vinodkd 12y agoTrue, such a feature should really be system-wide - something like OSX's Automator, maybe. That doesnt take away from the point, however, that GUI actions can be stored in history, composed, etc.
