How can I enable show refresh rate by macro?

hello.
I saw one macro that can enable [system] show_touches 1 and 0 in developer options.

instead of show_touches, I want to make a widget enable "show refresh rate" but I can't find any keys in macrodoid.
I just don't want to use any refresh rate app because show refresh rate in developer options can be seen on AOD.

anyone can help please..
thanks..

I recommend you this app, it's practicing set edit but modified with some extra features (it's open source and it's available in F-droid) it has a search engine to make easier the work, you just have to find where is the configuration (system, global or secure) once you find it, you take it to macrodroid and that's it, I hope it's useful for you.

You can also use SetEdit app and many other by serching "settings syntax" on Play Store.
I've also tried to find the right syntax for showing refresh rate but couldn't.
"[System] show_refresh_rate = 1" didn't work for me on any device. You can look at Pointer Location macro in MD templates for some ideas.

I can't find that setting
I asume your phone is a Samsung, so you could try Galaxy max Hz, it is really great
There is an option to show it on screen (consumes a lot power) but there is also a toggle in statusbar where you can see it

I know you don't wan't 3. party apps, but it's worth a try
Else you need to use some UI actions to enable it in Dev settings

I had the same issue when I changed phones - my old one had a system setting to enable/disable show screen refresh rate. Unfortunately my new phone doesn't have this system setting. So I wrote a macro that uses UI integration actions and have attached it in case it's of interest.
The macro will only work with the screen on, but that's not an issue as you need to have the screen on to see the displayed refresh rate!
My phone is an Oppo Find X3 Pro and the macro uses the system setting layout to change the show screen refresh rate. On other phones the system settings are likely to be different and the macro will need to be modified for that.

It's doesn't work for me. I believe it's because Settings on my device don't have the word Search, but instead have magnifier (Galaxy Tab A, Android 10)

Try changing the UI action click on text Search to click on x,y where the values are a point inside the search bar.
Also, depending on your phone, launch settings may not go to the top where the search bar is located. If so, might need a down gesture.

If you should use UI actions anyvay, it might be easyer Just to jump directly to Dev settings with send intent

android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS

Unfortunately not easier.
Using the intent jumps to the top of developer options.
The show screen refresh option isn't shown - it needs a few swipes to show it, at least on my phone. I find swipe gestures aren't good when you need to stop at a precise point in a long list.
The search method is a simple and quick way of getting to the required setting.
