Simple Hotkey Macro: Start Your Practice with the 2-Times Table!

 Hi there! Today, I'll show you how to easily use loops and variables with a simple macro example: creating the 2-times multiplication table. Simple Hotkey is a really easy and convenient macro program, so you can practice right away with this example!


How to Create a 2-Times Table Macro




To type the 2-times table into Notepad with a macro, you need to repeat the calculation and key entry from '2 x 1 = 2' to '2 x 9 = 18' nine times. You can do this very simply using a loop.

Script Example:

<string,a=2>
<string,b=1>
<repeat,9>[
<calc,c=a*b>
<sendkey,a>X<sendkey,b>=<sendkey,c>⇒
<calc,b=b+1>]

Script Explanation:

  • <string,a=2>: Stores the number 2 in variable a. This represents the fixed '2' in the multiplication table.

  • <string,b=1>: Stores the number 1 in variable b. This is the number that will be multiplied, starting from 1.

  • <repeat,9>[ ... ]: This command tells the macro to repeat the commands inside the brackets [ and ] a total of 9 times.

  • <calc,c=a*b>: Calculates the product of variables a and b and stores it in variable c. This is the result of the multiplication.

  • <sendkey,a>X<sendkey,b>=<sendkey,c>⇒: Types the results (variables a, b, and c) into Notepad in order. For example, it will type '2X1=2'. The symbol represents an Enter key press, which creates a new line.

  • <calc,b=b+1>: Each time the loop runs, this command adds 1 to the value of variable b. This makes b increase from 1, to 2, to 3, and so on, completing the multiplication table.


How to Use This Example

This example is great for:

  • Practicing repetitive tasks: It’s the best way to get comfortable with using loops and variables.

  • Automating simple calculations: You can use the calc command whenever your macro needs to perform a quick calculation.

  • Practicing data output: It helps you practice how to output calculated values to a file or onto the screen.

It’s a simple but incredibly powerful way to use macros! Try making and running the script yourself to see how easy and convenient Simple Hotkey is.
