One-key macros can be used to allow single keys to function as two keys pressed simultaneously (for example, SHIFT+CTRL). This ability may be of particular interest to people unable to press more than one key at a time.

For example, a macro can be used to execute the CTRL+ESC key combination when you press the F11 key, which is rarely used by applications.

A macro file containing such a macro, or a collection of similar macros, can be entered on the LOAD= or RUN= line of the WIN.INI file, allowing the macros to be immediately available upon entering Windows.
