Sandstone

Sandstone is a small utility I made for macroing commands to the numpad, for Minecraft servers.
 When you first launch the program, it creates a file called macros.txt. It looks something like this:

1=
2=
3=
4=
5=
6=
7=
8=
9=

You can easily modify this file by right clicking the Sandstone icon in the system tray, then clicking on "Edit Macros". You then simple type a command beside the "=" sign, and it will automatically be typed in when you press the assigned numpad key. You must make sure to type the talk key first however, or it won't open up the chat/console box. Here is an example using the "5" numpad key:

1=
2=

3=

4=

5=t/give 50 64
6=

7=

8=

9=


This would open up the chat box (notice the t), then enter the command "/give 50 64". If you want to assign a mouse click to a numpad key, you can type [leftclick] or [rightclick] after the "=" sign (this cannot be mixed with other keystrokes).

After you finish adding all your desired macros, you must right click on the Sandstone icon in the system tray, and then click "Update Macros". This will map your newly created macros to the appropriate numpad keys. You can exit Sandstone by righclicking it's icon (just like before), and clicking on "Exit".
