Macros not working as expected

[adrianocr]

I set up one of my mouse buttons to act as a Gnome application list opener. On my keyboard its [RIGHT] SUPER + A. Piper sets the macro as ↓RIGHTMETA ↓A ↑RIGHTMETA ↑A. When I click the specified button on my mouse I see that the "Activities" button in the top left of the gnome-shell top panel gets highlighted, but nothing else happens. If I hit the button again, it deselects the gnome-shell activities button. Nothing else happens.

Any chance to have an option to send a command rather than a "macro"? Most of what a lot of people want to do has an easy command. For example if I wanted to have a button that could easily log out of the session you could call the command gnome-session-quit --force. If I wanted to do that now I'd have to create a keyboard shortcut for it first.
