It’s easy. Install the plugin via Plugin Manager,
then create a new script via Plugins-PythonScript->New script.
Give it a meaningful name and save.
Add mulitple lines

notepad.runMenuCommand('Run', 'NAME OF THE MACROS AS SHOWN IN RUn MENU')

done, well - save it and run it via Plugins->PythonScript->scripts…

PyNPP? I installed it but no option to create a script?

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf - no, PythonScript plugin - it is called PythonScript. :-)

kracovwolf

I realized i didn’t have plugin manager. i was using plugin admin. but the plugin manager doesnt have a list. tried ticking untested plugins, there was an error

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf - sorry for confusion. I don’t know why I still use the term ~~Plugin Manager~~ when it should be Plugin Admin

turns out i had to update npp to see the plugin. but when creating a new script its asking me for a .py file. i assume this is where i create a txt file and rename the extension?

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf - just provide a name and keep the py extension

Ekopalypse

then a new document opens and there you put your runMenuCommands in

kracovwolf

im sorry… trying hard to follow your directions but i’m lost. when you say multiple lines, do you mean empty lines to add to the new document, or copies of the code you provided? i’m also confused about “run menu” Again i apologize

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf - pythonscript plugin is installed ,correct?

kracovwolf

yes i created the script too

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf
ok, then you need multiple lines of

notepad.runMenuCommand('Macro', 'NAME OF THE MACROS AS SHOWN IN Macro MENU')

Ekopalypse

You can test if the command has been successfully sent if you
execute it via the console like I did in the first screenshot.
It has to return true. If false appears then something is wrong with your command.

kracovwolf

i created the macro codes now what? use the run command but what program?

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf
You use notepad++. Goto Plugins->PythonScript->Scripts
and click your python script.

kracovwolf

nothing happened, nothing in console except the Ready message

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf
What should the macros do?

kracovwolf

they all change spelling errors and remove junk in subtitle files. i double checked the macro names, cases are fine, spaces too.

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf

run one command in the console and see what it returns.
