Your first programmable board, how exciting! You've been here so long I assumed you had one. The Alt does have RGB so it will have to be QMK.
To get your head around macros you have to think how you do something using only a keyboard. You could move the mouse to a white space (even though that's cheating ) then press the 'menu' key, then some arrows to get to new -> folder but then you would have to type the name and you don't know what that is, so it wont work.
You do know how to make the folder in command prompt though so open the folder and try this, it's exactly what the macro will do:
-Press Alt+D (focus the address bar)
-type powershell and press enter
-paste/type the code from the .bat file, press enter
-type exit, press enter
You should now be back in explorer with the new folder ... wherever it gets put relative to whatever's already there. Windows 7 doesn't like the contents of your .bat for me so I guess you're in 10? It's that or there's something going on in the background when you run a .bat which can surely be worked around.
Edit: Looked at the QMK documentation on macros, this seems to be the above in QMK speak
SEND_STRING(SS_LALT("d") SS_DELAY(100) "powershell" SS_TAP(X_ENTER) SS_DELAY(500) "md %date:~8,2%-%date:~5,2%-%date:~0,4%" SS_TAP(X_ENTER) SS_DELAY(100) "exit" SS_TAP(X_ENTER));
Yeah, well, I've here a while now, but 99% of the time I', a topre lover. I started my mech journey from CM quickfire rapid on mx blacks, then browns, but landed on Topre and it was always hard to find same refinement, if you know what I mean
Only mx switch I like now is Tealios v2 - so for a year now I've been waiting for Rama U80-A (hopefully will land on my desk this month) and now waiting for that Drop ALT - not a premium board, but its a gift and I never liked smaller formats than TKL, so will try to get used to 65%.
OK, so those moves - yeah, will try this when I get my keeb. I got what you mean by doing exact same moves with mouse and keyboard, then trying to replicate it with lines.
Right now I have this simple script programmed on my pc - bat file with that line + I added custom menu under right click button (regedit inserted):
It works great, but if I'm getting QMK keyboard, I would like to add loads of these and have them in the keyboard, which I will move from work to home etc.
Thanks again, I will look into that docs as well - never too old to learn new stuff!
