Notes on macros for keystroke parser only:
  The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), curly braces ({}) and parentheses ( ) have special meanings to keytroke parser.
  To specify a single keyboard character, use the character itself. To represent the letters A, B, and C, use ABC for string.
  To specify brace characters, use {{} and {}} , or {(} and {)} for parentheses.
  To specify repeating keys, use the form {key number}. You must put a space between key and number!
  To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the key code with one
  or more of the following codes:
  + = Shift
  ^ = Ctrl
  % = Alt
  To specify to hold down SHIFT while E and C are pressed, use +(EC)
  To specify to hold down SHIFT while E is pressed, followed by C without SHIFT, use +EC

-examples:
BARCODE{DOWN}
this could be useful in Excel, It would send barcode into selected cell and move insert point in the next cell by sending down arow keystroke.

BARCODE{TAB}{CODTYPE}{TAB}{TIMESTAMP}{ENTER}   
this would send barcode, code type and time stamp separated with tab keystroke and enter keystroke at the end.
