I'm looking for a macro recorder that will allow me to execute the macro from the mouse context menu.

I see many macro recorders, but none mention execution from the context menu.

I see a few context menu managers, so, I could buy a macro recorder and a context menu manager to achieve my goal, but that's getting into the $40+ range and it isn't worth it.

I'll give you an example of the ONE THING I can think of that I want to do at the moment: copy an email address to the clip board, start AVG control center. select the anti-spam module and open the whitelist dialog.

So, I quess I actually need two macros: a whitelist one and a blacklist one.

Without being able to easily add the macros to the context menu I would use this one time to set up these two macros and probably never use it again because of the hassle involved in using two separate tools - one to record the macro and another tool to put it on the context menu.

Which gets me back to spending more than $40.00 for two separate tools makes it not worth it when all it actuallys saves is 4 mouse clicks and a few mouse moves. (But, damn, it sure would be convenient to do this!)

i have done this and i know they are out there still. here some links to where i got the context editors.

u can set the context item you create to trigger a macro.

there are several free macro apps out there so dont need to spend any money on this solution.
