1.2. To add "macro steps"
A macro consists of a series of "macro steps". In the macro setting area, the operation content of the macro step is represented by the shape of a key.Macro steps can be of many types, and represent the type of keystroke action being simulated. Including：
| Type | Meaning |

| Key Down | Pressing a key does not lift |
| Key Up | Lift the key |
| Delay | The delay is a period of time, in milliseconds |
