Default Macro needed for inserting blank rows

Is this better? (for few number of rows to insert)

For the first time select required row above which to insert a row,
press Alt+I and R ( for inserting row) and then go to next required row
and keep pressing F4 function key to repeat the last action (insert
row, in this case)
Regards

You can use a procedure like the following. Uncomment the line of code you
want, depending on whether you want the inserted rows to be above or below
the current active cell.


Sub InsertTwoRows()
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' inserts rows ABOVE active cell
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'ActiveCell.Resize(2, 1).EntireRow.Insert

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' inserts rows BELOW active cell
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'ActiveCell(2, 1).Resize(2, 1).EntireRow.Insert

End Sub

I need a macro to insert a set number of rows, scroll the mouse, hit the
hotkey again and rows are inserted there.

Specifically:

I want to put the cursor on a row and have two new rows (blank) inserted
beneath the row I have the mouse on.

Just scroll the mouse to a row, click a hotkey, two new rows are inserted,
scroll the mouse to a new location, hit the hotkey, two new rows inserted
there--and so forth.

I've tried; but my macro, every time I hit the hotkey, keeps adding row to
the initial location. It is using absolute address instead of relative &
I
don't know how to get it to stop (if that's what needs to be done.)

The macro I made was --start it recording, choose a hotkey,
select a row beneath where I wanted the first new rows to appear,
select the row below that,
go to "Insert" on the toolbar
select row
stop Macro recording.

--no matter where I put the cursor, the news rows are added to the
original
place that I selected the rows to go.
