    I’m trying to record a macro with the following steps:

    1. Open Column Editor
    2. Insert number: 1
    3. Increase by: 1

    Unfortunately, I can’t record it. I just want to have a “enumerate shortcut”.

    Can anyone help me with that?

      The column editor isn’t “macroable”.
      Macros originated as simple editor actions.
      The column editor is a more complex action.

          @Alan-Kilborn Got it, do you have any suggestions on how to address my problem in a different way?

            @Gustavo-Baiano said in Macro for "Number to Insert" from Column Editor:

            I just want to have a “enumerate shortcut”.

            It seems like it would be an easy thing to write a script for, either in Pythonscript or Luascript

            You would:

            • define a column insert region (what would look like a tall caret

            • run the script (via keycombo, menu, or toolbar button)

            • boom your numbering pops in! :-)

            But, do you do this constantly, such that using the actual column editor is a real burden?
