If the monitor accepted ";" as a command separator, to put multiple
commands on a single line, <command_list> could just be a quoted
string which is processed as a line.
If we're going to have keyboard macros, it would be nice and probably
very easy to have monitor macros too - monitor commands which expand
to a line in the same way.
The number of times I've typed things like send_key control-alt-del
and would have appreciated a "cad" macro...
Syntax idea comes to mind is:
- Add ";" as command separator.
- add_macro <name> <command-string>
- remove_macro <name>
- list_macros
- add_key key <key> <command-string>
- remove_key <key> <command-string>
- list_keys
(If I were starting from nothing it'd be macro_add, macro_remove
etc. or maybe "macro add", but the above seems more consistent with
the existing monitor)
