<![CDATA[Macro for "Number to Insert" from Column Editor]]>I’m trying to record a macro with the following steps:

  1. Open Column Editor
  2. Insert number: 1
  3. Increase by: 1

Unfortunately, I can’t record it. I just want to have a “enumerate shortcut”.

Can anyone help me with that?

It seems like it would be an easy thing to write a script for, either in Pythonscript or Luascript

You would:

  • define a column insert region (what would look like a tall caret

  • run the script (via keycombo, menu, or toolbar button)

  • boom your numbering pops in! :-)

But, do you do this constantly, such that using the actual column editor is a real burden?

The column editor isn’t “macroable”.
Macros originated as simple editor actions.
The column editor is a more complex action.
