Shortcuts are often more stable than mouse coordinates because they do not depend on the exact position of a button.

01

Why shortcuts can be stable

Yes. A keyboard recorder can capture modifier combinations and replay them in order while the correct app has focus.

02

Capture the sequence

In MacroLoop, record the shortcuts at a deliberate pace and include any app switches or pauses they require. Reopen the same starting document and run one rehearsal.

03

App focus is the failure point

A shortcut can mean something different in another app. Never assume focus moved correctly after a slow launch, dialog, or notification.

THE TAKEAWAY

Shortcut automation works best with an explicit starting app and visible focus checks.
