<![CDATA[macro-writing]]>Re: macro-writing

Dear Alan Kilborn,

your advice to save a macro and look into shortcuts.xml doesn’t work; there still is only the macro, which was delivered with the installation -->

<Macros>
<Macro name=“Trim Trailing Space 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>

But I would like to have a new one like ‘change ‘A’ to ‘B’’ with the Shortcut ‘Ctrl+Alt+Y’.

How to do that?

Thanx in advance

Kurt (Austria)

Maybe you are looking at the wrong shortcuts.xml ??

doesn’t work

Well it doesn’t work to provide any documentation on the macro.
But I didn’t say it would do that.

I would like to have a new one like ‘change ‘A’ to ‘B’’ with the Shortcut ‘Ctrl+Alt+Y’.

So you would:

  • bring up the Replace window by pressing Ctrl+h
  • set up the parameters of your replacement: Find what = A, Replace with = B, and any other settings in the Replace window that you want
  • start macro recording
  • press the Replace All button (or whatever kind of replacement op meets your need)
  • stop macro recording
  • save macro assigning the Ctrl+Alt+y key combo to it
