Where is the user macro file?

@guy038 Thanks everyone, lots to learn now! I’m just trying to simply automate web page creation for my static site.

@PeterJones I’m unfamiliar with scripting, is this also described in the manual? I have no programming skills, I only use Notepad++ for writing web pages and CSS files, so I’m hoping scripting is a straightforward feature…

Because scripting is done with a plugin, it wouldn’t be in the N++ manual.
If you have “no programming skills”, probably best to stay away from scripting. Unless you have a burning desire to acquire some of those skills.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks, looks like I’ll stick to macros! By the way, I must say this is one of the most helpful forums I’ve ever used! The NPP crowd is very helpful. Glad a friend of mine recommended that I use it for html coding.

Just don’t ask your HTML coding questions here!
We don’t take kindly to that!

Peter, I don’t know that info currently in the manual is anywhere close to as good as what you (and possibly I, if you agree) have said in this thread.
Yep: usermanual issue #139 created and assigned to me.
Pull Request #140 submitted.
( @Alan-Kilborn , during my investigation, I confirmed that cloud actually beats doLocalConf, rather than the other way around as you phrased it.)

Interesting.
It seems like the xml file should beat everything else, but I guess not.
At least it is documented well now.
Thanks to your efforts. -
More upcoming work for Peter on this: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/9287

It’s only going to be another sentence or two. Not a killer addition. ;-)

Hello,@Harry-Goldhagen
In Windows, the macros are saved at %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.XMLOr
In Windows < 7 the macros are saved at C:\Documents and Settings%username%\Application Data\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
In Windows 7|8|10 C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
Note: You will need to close Notepad++ if you have any new macros you want to ‘export’.I hope this information will be useful to you.
Thank you.
