Action Node Icons
When an action macro is being recorded or is current, each action in the
action macro file is represented by a node in the Action tree.
To help determine the type of action or input used during the recording of
an action macro, icons are displayed next to each one of the nodes on the
Action tree. The following table explains what each of the different action
nodes represent and the icon that is displayed next to them in the Action tree.
