I did a cursory search but didn't find this suggested; forgive me if it is.

Is there going to be a way for the user to create a new button on the top control bar and then assign functions to it? For example, will it be possible to save mouse clicks and other data into a string and then save that string so that it can be activated again using one click on a user defined button?

It seems like something that would be useful for tools and plug-ins and other actions that require two or more actions. Those actions could be assigned to the new button (with user-defined icon?) for one click access.

You wouldn't have to have a fancy Macro Creation Wizard or anything although that would be nice. Maybe the actions could be saved in some sort of text file as a mini script or something like that.

Speaking of that, could this feature be added via script or would it have to be hard coded in?

Thanks.
