It wont work on Mac / Linux
There is nothing you can do except type record manually every match and stop when you're done
You could maybe use a script that makes it 1 button for record / stop or something

the best/only automated script i've seen was one that automatically stops a demo, and starts recording a new one, when you switch class.

personally i would've just used 2 buttons that are currently not in use, and that i wouldn't accidentally press. one to record, one to stop. and then just manually rename the demo after you've stopped recording. i'd probably have gone for leftarrow and rightarrow.

any automated script would be nuisance to make/use.
valve should add this to the game already.

I emailed Valve a long time ago about the possibility of creating a version of P-REC compatible with Mac and Linux, but have not received any response. It doesn't look like there will be any chance of this anytime soon.

How does the whole bookmarking ability work? Is there a console command that you can use to output specific ticks to a text file on a mac?

bind "r" "demo"
alias "demo" "record_demo"
alias "record_demo" "record;echo RECORDING"
alias "stop_demo" "stop;echo STOPPING"
bind "alt" "+toggleState"
alias "+toggleState" "alias demo stop_demo"
alias "-toggleState" "alias demo record_demo"

Pressing r starts the demo, alt+r ends it. This is just if you want '1' key to do all that, tbh just bind two keys to start and stop.
You can rebind keys to w/e.
I haven't had the chance to test this, but I'm confident that it works.
Bookmarks appear to be a p-rec only thing though :(

There's an engine function to get the current tick, but as far as I'm aware no corresponding command.
