    I would like to build a key to remeber My current view (Zoom, Visible tracks, Track Height ect.). I would like to then do other edits, but then return to looking at exctly where i am. I figured I should build a macro to make a marker with a particular number so I can recall it. figured maybe marker number 800.
    I git this far, and was planning to add all the proper select buttons on the "Add marker" UI, but no luck even this far. Any advice please? Pasting what I have so far
    Thanks

      This isn't easily done with macros.
      This script should do it:

      
sf.app.launch({
    path: "/Applications/Pro Tools.app",
});

sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({
    menuPath: ["Window", "Memory Locations"],
    targetValue: 'Enable',
});

sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsWindow.popupButtons.whoseTitle.is("Memory Locations").first.popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ["New Memory Location..."],

});

const memLocationsDialog = sf.ui.proTools.newMemoryLocationDialog

memLocationsDialog.elementWaitFor();

memLocationsDialog.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.is("Zoom Settings").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: 'Enable' });

memLocationsDialog.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.is("Track Visibility").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: 'Enable' });

memLocationsDialog.checkBoxes.whoseTitle.is("Track Heights").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: 'Enable' });

memLocationsDialog.radioButtons.whoseTitle.is("None").first.elementClick();

memLocationsDialog.textFields.whoseTitle.is("").allItems[2].elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
    value: "800",
    useMouseKeyboard: true,
});

memLocationsDialog.textFields.whoseTitle.is("").allItems[1].elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
    value: "View Reset",
});

memLocationsDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();

          I've also published a package called Screen Layout Helper Functions that let's you do exactly that with memory locations and/or window configurations.

              Hi Andrew:
              I have installed this pkg, but it does not seem to do anything. Am I missing something?

                  The package has scripts that you can integrate into your own scripts, it doesn't really do anything standalone. It's more of a programming resource.
