    @M-Andre-Z-Eckenrode said: Possible v8.9.7 bug? I wouldn’t call it a bug. v8.9.7 intentionally made sure that running a Macro performed the same HMAC check as running a Run menu entry. If your PythonScript runs a menu command (either a macro or a run-menu command, especially), it would also trigger that check. Or, if you hadn’t used any of the intervening v8.9.6.2-4 subversions, then your HMAC would never have been updated, and Notepad++ would demand a single validate to your custom shortcuts, becaus of your PythonScript shortcut.

    User Manual has been updated: Renamed header to “shortcuts.xml Security” and includes mention of Macros as well: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#shortcutsxml-security added Macros Security on the macros page: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/macros/#macro-security added a paragraph linking to the “shortcuts.xml Security” page in the Running External Commands page: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/run-menu/#security-is-your-responsibility

    @donho, Based on HELP on Macros - security issue? and Problem running a macro without any associated key combination, I would say that the Security Warning dialog needs to be slightly more explicit: now that the warning occurrs for both Run menu entries and for Macro menu entries, the message should change use “Validate shortcuts.xml” from the menu to confirm it to use “Validate shortcuts.xml” from the Run menu to confirm it, so that users can find that menu entry, whether they see the message from trying to do a saved Run command or a Macro.
