Why do you think the genetic mutation for lactose tolerance is so geographically specific to Northern Europe? It is obviously an adaptation for when milk was the only available source of nutrition to those populations during times of famine

Since you were too lazy to check, I did the work, and I can say there is nothing that provides keyboard macros in the search link you posted. Here is the documentation that explains keyboard macros: https://www.gnu.org/softw
