 I'm trying to use the startup option "Run Keyboard Macro" but where do I create the macro?

The help says:

Quote
To insert a key combination in to the macro sequence, use the Add key combination group controls - click the edit box, press the desired key combination (it will be displayed in that field immediately), then click the Insert button (or you can simply type the combination enclosing it with angle brackets - e.g. <Ctrl+F5>, <Alt+Shift+B>, <Ctrl+End>, etc.)

Where is the option "Add key combination group controls" -- it's not on that screen and I can't find it anywhere else in the program?

I am thoroughly confused - this part of the program is really unclear. I've attached a screen of what I'm seeing.

Please help, this is driving me nuts!

 Ah, never mind, I discovered that the second options panel had somehow got hidden: it just looked like a status bar. I've now expanded that out correctly :-)

I would suggest that you add some sort of indicator to these scrollable borders, as it's really not clear that they can be interacted with.

 Hello Matt.

What version of Actual Window Manager are you running?

Best regards.

 Hi matt, I guess the step that you just shared does apply on other versions. What version are you currently using? User added an image

 Hi, sorry I didn't see your responses as I forgot to check "Subscribe to messages".

It's version 7.4.1, but it doesn't matter as I found the solution.

As I noted in my second reply, the problem is actually that the UI panel had been "squeezed" down into a tiny area and couldn't be seen.

Could you please make the "mouse hover/grab area" on stretchy panels more obvious in the interface? They just look like a normal border and are very hard to spot! Thanks :)
