"stop_effect_button" macro

I did just now get the macro to work by learning "shift + effect" for stop effect instead of the stop effect button but I'm still curious how the "stop_effect_button" is supposed to work...

This has previously been written up:

Macro Editor doesn't allow StopEffect and Freeze to be input

While there is no ETA for a fix I will certainly put a note that you encountered this as well.

stop_effect_button is on your fader controls. You use it by holding the button and pressing the fader load button with the effect you want to stop. Freeze and the rest of fader controls also work in this way. shift+effect and stop_effect_button are not the same things. You use this when you are busking concerts or doing gags on movies.

Stop_Effect can be used in two different ways: It can be used together with a playback Load button as you describe. But it can also be used in the command line. This post is about the latter.
