Hello William,

Yes, you’re right. the Move Up Current Line and Move Down Current Line actions are wrongly recorded in a macro. Luckily, there’s an easy work-around :-)

Let’s suppose, that you simply recorded the Edit - Line Operations - Move Down Current Line action OR you hit the CTRL + SHIFT + Down shortcut, in a macro, with name Test.

Then, if you close Notepad++ and open the shortcuts.xml configuration file, with an OTHER editor ( Windows Notepad, Wordpad, or else… ), you’ll easily notice that, in the macro node, this new macro, named Test, is stored as below :

<Macro name="Test" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
    <Action type="0" message="2024" wParam="2" lParam="0" sParam="" />
    <Action type="0" message="2339" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
    <Action type="0" message="2024" wParam="1" lParam="0" sParam="" />
    <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42015" lParam="0" sParam="" />
</Macro>

It look like that some extra actions are performed, without any purpose ! So, just delete the first three lines <Action ....>. Therefore, the macro description is, now, changed into :

<Macro name="Test" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
    <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42015" lParam="0" sParam="" />
</Macro>

Finally, save the modifications of the shortcuts.xml file and re-open Notepad++. This time, your Test macro should work nice !

Note : For the Move Up Current Line action, just change the value of wParam, from 42015 to 42014 !

Et voilà !

Best Regards

@Jeff-Page @MATEUSZ-BRAK The function list for javascript regression will be fixed in the next release.

@Shakespeare-Willian The shortcuts of “Ctrl + Shift + Up” and “Ctrl + Shift + down” not working in macro mode is not a feature.
Making you ask “is it a feature” is a feature.

for when the planned new version?

@User-Soft Tested in v6.8.4 under Windows 10 32bits, “hide in try” works for me.

Windows 7 64bits - not work.
6.8.1 - work hide in tray, 6.8.4 - not work.

Please check again Windows 7 64bits

I just tested under Windows 7 64bits - works perfect to me.
Are you sure that you are not running Notepad++ in Administrator mode?

I think that, yes, the program is run as an administrator. This is my priority. All my programs run automatically from the administrator. I turned off UAC.
Why did you remove the function minimization to tray in the new versions? Can return? It is necessary to minimize.

I upgrade to 6.8.5 and the function list is still blank for JavaScript files.
I will report it on the 6.8.5 thread also.
Going back to 6.8.3 again.
