How I messed up by accidentally replaying all my keystrokes from the last few days
github.com
After getting a comment from the creator of kanata (an awesome piece of software by the way) that he found my story amusing, I figured that I'd also post it here, partly as fun, partly as a cautionary tale. Also, I'd appreciate any tips as to what to check for in my system, it's a weird feeling to know that some stuff might have been messed up under the hood.

Seriously though, limiting the macro length to something reasonable should work, but it’s also guaranteed to make some people mad. I’m sure there’s at least one user who is working on something absurdly obscure that requires a macro long enough to reach beyond the edge of the observable universe.
My solution is to make the default behavior sensible, while proving a special option for that one guy. Just limit it for the average user, but not for everyone.
Well you make that adjustable with infinite being one of the choices. Set it to a default of something like 25 and let the user increase if they need to.
That would be a very nice option. In some apps, 0=infinite, while the other numbers work as expected.
Yeah I mean the issue mentions that a reasonable default that can be override.
