oh sorry i forgot to cover that part

A macro basically automates a lot of repetitive tasks. Say you wanted to type “lol” as “LAUGH OUT LOUD”.

So you write a macro.

  • input: “lol”
  • output: “LAUGH OUT LOUD”

This is what it would look like set up in phrase-express

In action:

Macros can be based on a keyboard input or keyphrases like “lol” depending on how you set it.

What it does for dynalist is it speeds up a lot of things data-entry tasks that dynalist doens’t have. Think of it as an additional software you use with dynalist to make dynalist even more useful.

This is how I use it personally

UNICODE - i use macros to write my unicode symbols for better readability / flexibility of notes

lt# → generates this :zap:
s# → generates this âœȘ
a# → generates this ★
>> generates →
<< generates this ←

DATE MACRO. I use this on dynalists “!” date parameter. To automatically generate the date. E.G.

e# → generates !(5/22/2017 09:20) (the current time)

I wrote a short little guide with my macros as an example :slight_smile:
