Buttons

To start recording, you simply have to press the red button.
From there, you can move your mouse, click, and type on your keyboard, and everything will be recorded. (You can choose what will be recorded.)

Then, to stop the recording, you simply click on the black square.
To play a recording, you just need to click on the green play icon.

Save, Load and clear a record

To save a record, you can do ctrl + s or by clicking on File and Save or Save as and it will open a file explorer (if you haven't already saved yet). From there you can choose you favorite path to save your record. You can either save it by .pmr extension (recommended) or by .json extension.

To load a record, you have two possibilities.

  1. Open the a .pmr file
  2. In the software, do ctrl + l or click on File and Load and it will open a file explorer.
    From there, choose the record you want to play (json and .pmr files only)

Finally, to start a new record and delete the last one, you can do ctrl + n or by clicking on File and New. And you'll have the software as if you were opening it for the first time.
