Re: keyboard macro to record scp (password)

[C K Kashyap]

Hi Peter,

I tried the (sleep-for 3) idea - there seems to be a problem though - for some reason, when I playback the macro, the sleep happens first and then the whole thing gets typed. 

What I did was, record the macro and then edit it and insert the M-: (sleep-for 3)C-j right after the return key after the ssh command.

(defun fun (n) (progn

(insert "ssh machinename") 

(sleep-for 2)

(insert "password")

)

)

 

the above function illustrates my point. When I execute this function, the sleep happens first and then the complete inserts.

Regards,

Kashyap
