of the numeric keypad which is available on most keyboards.

*** The new kmacro package provides a simpler user interface to
emacs' keyboard macro facilities.

Basically, it uses two function keys (default F7 and F8) like this:
F7 starts a macro, F8 ends the macro, and pressing F8 again executes
the last macro.  While defining the macro, F7 inserts a counter value
which automatically increments every time the macro is executed.

There is now a keyboard macro ring which stores the most recently
defined macros.

C-x C-k C-a, and C-x C-k C-f.  See the commentary in kmacro.el
for more commands.

The normal macro bindings C-x (, C-x ), and C-x e now interfaces to
the keyboard macro ring.

The C-x e command now terminates the current macro rather than
signalling an error if used while defining a macro.

In addition, when ending or calling a macro with C-x e, the macro can
be repeated immediately by typing just the `e'.  You can customize
this behaviour via the variable kmacro-call-repeat-key and
kmacro-call-repeat-with-arg.
