macros are similar to words, except that:

• macro sequences can contain arbitrary modifiers, like ctrl.
• macro sequences are not automatically prefixed with space.
• macro chords are not automatically generated - you pick them yourself, and write them in a .kmap file.
• macro chords cannot be modified by any kind of modifier. If you press a modifer at the same time, the chord will no longer be recognized as a macro.

A macro sequence is defined as a list of keypresses. Each keypress is on a separate line and includes a key and/or a list of modifiers.
