You do not have to tap the on-screen keyboard to enter macro text into the
K4.  The K4's built-in Macro Editor supports ten finger typing with a real
USB keyboard plugged into one of the K4's three standard USB Type A
connectors.

An external USB keyboard is currently the easiest way to enter long macro
strings into the K4.  Hopefully someday Elecraft will provide a new host
command to store macro text.  Such commands would allow PC software, or
basic batch files, to save macro text into the K4.
