Thank you very much! It work's like charm, though I had to change some of
the code.
What do you know: following the documentation about macros, I've found the
example of Shortcuts.txt. I've opened my mouth too early again. Now I feel
really dumb.
Another idea comes to my mind: so given with these macros, would be be
possible to create a shortcut, that rebinds itself after getting triggered?
Eg. if I press the button once, it changes to tool x, on the second press it
changes to y, etc. etc. ?
