| * Test the macro. Save the keyboard story. Choose this keyboard in your preferences. Then go to a rundown story and press the related shortcut. If the story have had no video-id, now it should have the next one out of your list (and this number should be removed from the list). If the story have had a video-id before, this video-id should be there even if you run the macro. In that case nevertheless a number is removed from the list. | * Test the macro.

| - | * Actually the script produces 300 ids. Of course you can increase this value by adjusting the loop border. | ||
