ghubMacroEditor

Warning

Use at your own risk. Before editing settings.db, make a backup of:

%localappdata%\LGHUB\settings.db

Logitech G Hub can overwrite changes if it is still running when you save. It also won't update unless you completely exit out of lghub and relaunch.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+ recommended
• Windows
• Tkinter available in your Python install

Run

From the project folder run this code to launch:

python ghub_macro_browser.py

Or download the exe zip file if you are less technically inclined.

What This Does

I made this because editing larger sets of macros directly in G Hub is slow and tedious, especially when you want to make the same kind of changes across many macros.

This tool reads macro data from G Hub and lets you:

• open and edit existing macros
• create new macros
• edit sequence components directly
• replace keys across one macro or many filtered macros
• change delays in one macro or in bulk
• change sequence default delays in bulk
• assign macros to G keys and memory profiles
• record keystrokes into new or existing sequence macros
• inspect and edit the raw JSON behind a macro

It works directly with G Hub macro data and, in my testing, G Hub accepts the changes after writing them back.

Main Features

• Macro browser with filtering by application, type, and search text
• Sequence summary line for quick viewing
• Sequence component editor
• Drag-and-drop component reordering
• Bulk delay editing
• Bulk key replacement for sequence macros - example changing WASD to ARROW keys on all filtered macros
• Macro duplication and creation
• G-key assignment tools
• Keystroke recording for sequence macros
• Raw JSON view for advanced inspection

Important Notes

• Close G Hub before saving to settings.db
• Back up settings.db before using this tool
• This tool edits existing G Hub data structures directly
• Some macro ordering behavior inside the G Hub UI still appears to be controlled internally by G Hub

About Macro Ordering In G Hub

One of the reasons I made this was frustration with macro ordering in the official G Hub app.

From what I have seen, macro ordering inside G Hub does not appear to be controlled in any obvious or reliable way by:

• JSON order
• UUID
• creation order
• alphabetical name order
• cards index
• simple reformatting of the data

Assigned macros tend to float toward the top, but the rest often appear in an arbitrary order. I spent quite a while trying to reverse-engineer this and did not find a dependable ordering rule.

So while this editor can help you manage and bulk-edit macros more easily, it probably cannot fully fix how G Hub itself chooses to display macro ordering.

Before Saving To settings.db

Make sure these G Hub processes are closed before writing changes:

If G Hub is open while you save, it may overwrite your edits.

Typical Workflow

1. Close G Hub completely
2. Back up %localappdata%\LGHUB\settings.db
3. Open settings.db in this tool
4. Filter to the application or macros you want
5. Make your edits
6. Save
7. Reopen G Hub and verify the changes

Limitations

• Built around Logitech G Hub macro data
• Tested against my own usage; not guaranteed for every G Hub version
• G Hub may change its internal format in future updates
• Macro ordering in the G Hub UI is still largely outside this tool’s control

Why I Made It

This is not meant to replace G Hub entirely. It is mainly for people who already use G Hub macros and want a faster way to inspect, batch-edit, and manage them without fighting the official UI.

If you already hate editing macros in G Hub, this may still be easier.
