I have vainly searched for a simple ad hoc macro record and play script. I'd have thought that someone would have used the AutoScriptWriter tool to achieve this. I could give this a try myself, but I am very confident that it does already exist.

Basically I'd like a recorder script that uses a toggle hotkey to start or stop recording, e.g. ^#R and leaves the recorded script somewhere where it can be played back with e.g. ^#P and possibly saved by e.g. ^#S if it turns out that it's worthwile keeping it for later. The ^#P and ^#S should stop the current recording if it is active.

So this would give you macro functionality anywhere all the time. Just start recording ^#R and start playing with ^#P (if needed the recording can be stopped first with ^#R, but frequently simple repetitive keyboard tasks end up at a controlled spot where the repetition can be triggered).

Needless to say, I'd like the AutoScriptWriter to be practically invisible. Normally, I just want to rapidly create a fast ad-hoc script, play it a couple of times, and forget about it.

I hope somebody can point me to an existing script which (almost?) achieves this functionality.
