Marco to lock board (shift,escape)

Is there anyway to write a macro to lock the board using the shift and escape keys? I want to add it to my startup.

  • I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, that, due to the "ESC"-keys function in writing macros, and the lack of an alternative shortcut for locking the desk, it's not possible at the moment. Haven't found any softkey in the macro-editor, that would be of help either.

    Depending on what you are trying to prevent from happening by locking the desk, you could load a snapshot with empty magic sheets on startup and start a "wait for enter"-loop, that runs for a few cycles, to prevent commands that need to be terminated by the "enter"-key. That won't protect you from any shortcuts or "FullFull"/"Out"- commands, though.

    It's the ony workaround I can come up with off the top of my head and it's not exactly elegant. I think it's better to just stick to locking the desk manually.

    But someone might prove me wrong.
