UPDATE!

Nobody gives a shit about Bigfoot, so Fuck 'em!

First things first this program is actually impressive to me.

Because here's why...

But first, this one little thing is always on top, so I am forever "restoring" maximized instances of Chrome in order to see and navigate the rightmost quarter of my tab bar. I need to learn to keyboard command in here.
Probz the reason I am not so familiar with Chrome hot keys is coz this list is like big and intimidating.

AH BUT HERE'S WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW
Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+8
Switches to the tab at the specified position number on the tab strip.
(well lol I have 12 tabs open this profile this instance thou so like)
Ctrl+9
Switches to the last tab.
(yeah but what about 9-11? )

  • (pun intended just kidding)

OK MORE SPECIFICALLY
Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+PgDown Switches to the next tab.

Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Ctrl+PgUp Switches to the previous tab.
Ctrl+W
Closes current tab.
AND EVEN THIS ONE WILL BE USEFUL
Ctrl+Shift+T
Reopens the last closed tab.

OK so here's what I was doing:
I am forever addicted to the mobile game called Summoner's War: Sky Arena. I think it's only been for a couple months so far though. But I'm playing on my phone, my work phone, my work tablet... and especially my work PC using Blue Stacks mobile emulator.
AND EVEN MORE SPECIFICALLY
I am farming right now in a dungeon and assaulting the Hall of Magic B2 but also I am farming for xp in 5. North Telain Forest (HARD) but also I need 2* grey Monsters to drop so I can evolve a fodder monster and use that to evolve a real monster. I am encumbered at 93/90 Monsters and I can't afford new slots. To be honest, I can, but just barely, but I'm trying to save that currency for some other shit. But the point is, I am strictly prohibited from buying any Monster with any currency at any store; OR from Summoning a Monster by any method at the Summonhenge... so I need to get 2* Monsters as drops, and then I can free up some slots and la-di-da. I'm hoping for a Maned Boar.

So, as promised, the review:
I recently downloaded Jit Bit Macro Recorder, in order,
to farm smarter, and harder.
A good macro program is a tool that:
  • Records the mouse including mouse clicks, mouse movements, wheel actions, drag-n-drop operations... An optional feature to record in relative coordinates makes a great addition.
  • Records the keyboard including hotkey combinations and shortcuts.
  • Adjustable playback speed and repeats so you don't have to automate your actions in "realtime", speed them up! Also, why limit yourself to one playback only? Record a macro and keep it running for 24 hours.
  • Binding macros to hotkeys so you always have you macros at hand when you need them. Just press a shortcut and the macro will run.
  • Visual designer that shows a recorded macro in a readable form and allows editing them
  • Different commands, not just keyboard and mouse automation - a good macro recorder can add predefined "commands" to a macro. Like "open file", "launch website", "computer shutdown", "clear clipboard" and many more
  • Debugging features - stepping through a recorder macro line-by-line, breakpoints, "play-to" and "play-from" tools, etc

The Playback and Recording Toolbar is what's in the way of my poor lonesome tabs. This program, they give you choice between top left or top right but for me is no good.
Otherwise, it's bad ass. For real, I've used like three or maybe more similar programs in the past for similar tasks and otherwise. This is it, folks. The crime deli crime. It's so fucking easy and feature rich. I would also certainly say that its interface is super user-friendly, but I've found I'm not a very good test sample because I'm so familiar with interfaces. It's the same way with spicy food. I love it and eat it frequently, but if you ask me if a dish is spicy, my mother for example would disagree half the time if I said no...

In conclusion, 

But no seriously it's really efficient. I'm farming at work on the left display while I work or blog on the main display. I have my task lists on the right monitor so that I stay on course, and now that I have the Jit Bit hook up, all I have to do at the end of a Summoner's battle is click play on the little toolbar that won't move, watch my cursor accept the reward that dropped and replay a battle on the same map, and press stop. Of course, if I go AFK, the stop button won't be clicked but a delay will suspend activity for just long enough for my team to claim victory over the next battle, and repeat ON ITS OWN HOLY ABSLL

Also, they give it to free people who blog a review, and I hope they read through them all, and this post is a new experience and they approve my free thingy but if they don't whatever I guess well here I go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
