how to assign a keyboard macro to a keyboard shortcut

[JPS_CSE]

Does anyone know how to assign a keyboard macro to a keyboard shortcut?  I am spoiled from using CodeWright, if there is nothing selected when a 'Ctrl c' is issued, CodeWright automatically copies the line the cursor is on. I'm trying to replicate that feature and the only way I can see is a keyboard macro of the 'Copy Line' right click command.  Any thoughts?

It sounds like you're talking about editing source code.  I don't know a way to create your own keyboard macro.  You can change the shortcut key assignments (CVI 9.1: Options -> Change Shortcut Keys), but it sounds like you need more than that.

To do your example (copying an unhighlighted line), I often press Ctrl-Y,  to cut the current line, immediately followed by a Ctrl-V to restore the original line.  That line is still in the clipboard buffer, so I then move to where I want the copy of the original line and press Ctrl-V again.

In case you're not asking about editing code but creating shortcuts for your users in your application, you can trap EVENT_KEYPRESS in your panel callback or control callback and check for key code combinations.  See the example program multikey.prj that ships with CVI, and the CVI help for EVENT_KEYPRESS.
