v1.1: added a "Reload Text" button. When variable changes, you may click the Reload Text button to reload its value.

v1.3 note: allows users to set the window size.
v1.3.1 note: add resizing the text box as users resize the window.

Update (09/15/2021, 09:02 PM ET):

Hey @martin!

This one is awesome!

The only thing is to how to define position of a window on a screen?

[hello]

since it's html, position, the window coordinates, can be defined.
ie. search the forum for the Napkin macro or other prompts

Hi @kreal,

I'm glad you like it. I've updated the macros to 1.3 and 2.3 respectively.

They now

1. allow users to define the window size.
   • note: this action is disabled. If you want to define the window size, please activate the action and give the width and height of the window, separated by a comma , without any space.
2. the window will show up at the upper-right corner of the front screen.

Hi @peternlewis,

I have one problem with this macro. The user-defined window size does not work reliably. Sometimes, the JavaScript seems to have failed to get the value of instanceWindowSize and as a result the window size is defined by my default value.

See my gif below. The user defined window size is 700,400, and the default size is 540,300. when the cursor flashes, it means I was executing the same macro multiple times without any changes.

I tried to add up to 1s of pause after the setting instanceWindowSize value action. It did not solve the problem.
