It's totally a reasonable RFE, but I have to ask: Do you really
re-record the macro every time? You don't have one set up with
AutoHotkey?

I use AHK for more than RDi automation, and the 'good' key combinations
are spoken for.

So, from the sound of it, you have some "good" key combos that you'd
like to use for RDi, but you're using them for something else already.

Which brings up two questions:

1. Are you aware that hotkeys can be context-sensitive? In other
words, have one key combo that does one thing in Notepad and another
thing in Excel and another thing in RDi and another thing when none of
the above is active.

2. If the key combos you want to use are taken, then presumably even
if the RFE is implemented, you would have to invoke the macro via
mouse click(s). If that's the case, you could also write an
AutoHotkey script that is executable on demand (via double-clicking
its icon, just like any other executable). AutoHotkey is a
full-fledged programming language, not just a resident hotkey manager.
