Simple Macro Recorder Extension

Lets you record mouse clicks and replay over a user-defined set number of iterations, and a user-defined click delay. Works with dropdown/dynamic page elements and can record/playback across page loads/refreshes. Also records and plays back copy/paste keyboard actions.

NOTE: YOU MUST REFRESH THE WINDOW YOU WISH TO WORK-ON AFTER INSTALLING THE EXTENSION, IN ORDER FOR THE SCRIPT TO BE INJECTED PROPERLY. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR THE MACRO NOT RESPONDING/WORKING.

TO CHECK THAT THE SCRIPT AS INJECTED, USE F12 ('INSPECT' FUNCTION) AND CHECK THE 'CONSOLE' TAB FOR THE MESSAGE 'Macro Recorder: Content script loaded.' - THIS MEANS THE SCRIPT IS LIVE, AND SHOULD WORK ON THAT PAGE.
