      Hello people,

      I have been experiencing some problems with the Macro functionality.

      These are my steps I take, I record a macro, and then save it. My specific keys I chose were Ctrl + Shift + L.
      When I tried it, it worked perfectly, even when closing and opening Notepad++. However, when I copy text from another program and go into Notepad++ to use my Macro, it pastes what I have copied instead of the Macro I created and saved.

      Any suggestions?

        You may have trigger a paste command with an empty text while you were recording your macro.

        You can debug your macro : have a look in the C:\Users\luke.skywalker\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml file
        here is mine.

        <Macros>
            <!--Trim Trailing and save - Alt+Shift+S -->
            <Macro name="Trim Trailing and save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="83">
                <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam="" />
            </Macro>
        </Macros>
        

        Cmd 42024 => <!–Trim Trailing Space - -->

        Try to post yours
